Only Happy Hens Lay

Eggs for Vt. Law School

Eggs for Vt. Law School

Starting March 5, Vermont Law School in South Royalton began using exclusively cage-free eggs in its student dining facility.

The lawyers-to-be gobble up approximately 15,000 eggs each year.

Steven Marinelli, area manager for Fitz Vogt & Associates, the food service provider that serves VLS, explained that "Vermont Law School instills in our students respect for our community and environment, and our new cage-free egg policy furthers this commitment."

The Humane Society of the United States this week said the school’s decision not to use eggs from caged hens is an important step for animal welfare.

Across the country, more than 100 schools have taken the step.

"Vermont Law School’s move away from battery cage eggs is a good step that helps improve animal welfare," commented Paul Shapiro, Factory Farming Campaign director for The HSUS. "The HSUS encourages other schools to follow their example."
