An overwhelming majority of hens is limited in the conventional cages, where they each can share only 67 square inches of the cage space.2 67 square inches cannot even compare with a piece of letter-size paper which takes up about 93.5 square inches. Such tiny space is not enough for the hens to spread their wings, let alone make nests or perch. Hence, the conventional battery cage system violates animal welfare. Unlike the conventional battery cage system, the cage-free system provides more space for hens, where they are able to walk around within a certain range, to spread their wings, to nest and perch. Freedom of such activities improves the mood and health of hens, and thus increases their quality of life. John Mill’s Greatest Happiness Principle states that “Actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness, wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness…

However, he argues that beliefs based upon insufficient evidence are wrong regardless of how trivial they seem. Beliefs shape our actions, and we ought not act based on unjustified beliefs. But belief in unquestioned claims trivializes the faculty of belief. If we trivialize the importance of justifying beliefs, we are more likely to end up acting based on unfounded beliefs at some point. Thus, we ought never believe things. For similar reasons, the duty to question and justify beliefs extends…

Rousseau mentions that justice is to give what to each what is owed, and he states that justice and truth are synonymous. For the most…
