IF you care at all about cruelty.. BUT it is HEALTHIER also.. ADDED NOTE: YOU can buy vegetarian fed but I did once and did not like but I am going to see if I can find eggs in stores without antibiotics and ARSENIC which I DID NOT know they fed them Cage-Free What it means: Cage-free is certainly not like Old McDonalds farm, explains Paul Shapiro, spokesperson for the Humane Society of the United States. Generally, it means that animals are not kept in the tiny battery cages used in most egg operations. It doesnt mean the animals live outside or that they eat a diet free of arsenic and antibiotics. It is true that cage-free operations are slightly healthier for you. Cages generate more fecal dust, are associated with more disease-carrying rodents and insects, involve many cages that are difficult to disinfect, and lead to low natural immunity in stress-out hens check this link out or type in search cage free eggs... you will get lots of link for US
