A hen looks out from the slits of her cage, where she is packed in with other chickens for transport to the wet market. They will remain in these cages until they are selected for slaughter. India, 2021. S. Chakrabarti / We Animals Media

A worker carries dried hides piled on his head. The skins of large cattle from the Hindu states of India are particularly valuable because they tend to have less scars and blemishes due to their holy status.

Damaged eggs in crates lie on the floor of an egg production farm.
A hen stands with a gaping open mouth inside a battery cage as she pants in the summer heat on an Indian egg-production farm. Like all birds, hens do not sweat and must pant to cool down, and their open mouths are their natural response to feeling too warm. During the summer, the outside temperatures here routinely surpass 40°C.
The dead body of an egg-laying hen lies on the floor next to rows of stacked battery cages on an Indian egg production farm. During the summer, as the temperature routinely surpasses 40°C, hen deaths due to heat exhaustion are routine. Though the deaths increase a farm's mortality rate, it has little impact on these mid-size farms that contain 8,000 to 15,000 adult egg-laying hens.
Rows of egg-laying hens live in stacked battery cages on an Indian egg production farm. Porous gunny sack material covers the sides of their tin-roofed open-sided shed, but as the outside temperatures soar above 42°C, the shed's small overhead fans provide little relief from the heat. Hot air blows in through the shed's sides, adding to the hen's discomfort.

As the outside temperature surpasses 40°C, hot afternoon sunshine spills through a section of broken roof, directly spotlighting a group of egg-laying hens confined inside battery cages.
Inside a shed containing live chicks on an Indian egg production farm, the bodies of several dead chicks lie laid out on a ledge. During the summer, temperatures here frequently surpass 40°C, and three to four chicks die from heat exhaustion daily.
Young chickens perch on a water dispenser inside a crowded shed on an Indian egg production farm. As the temperature rises in the summer months, frequently surpassing 40°C, the chicks crowd around the water dispensers. To drink, the chicks peck to apply pressure to a dispenser that discharges a few drops of water at a time.
Chicks lie flat on the dirt floor of a shed on an Indian egg production farm, attempting to cool themselves in the hot summer weather. Soon after birth, the ends of the chicks' beaks had been clipped and blunted so that when, as adults, they are housed in battery cages, they do not injure each other inside the cramped confines of the cages.

A dead hen that has been removed from a battery cage lies on the floor of an intensive egg-production farm. Hen deaths from heat exhaustion are a regular occurrence during the summer months when temperatures typically soar beyond 40-42°C.
A hen living inside a battery cage on an intensive egg-production farm drinks from a water dispenser inside the cage she shares with several other hens. She must use her beak to apply pressure to the dispenser to make the water flow.
Five to six egg-laying hens with pale and drooping combs, dirty feathers and patches of bare skin are kept in small battery cages of about three by two feet on an intensive egg-production farm even as the outside temperatures reach 42°C (107°F).
On an Indian egg production farm, a hen with a clipped beak looks out from inside a crowded battery cage near one of the building's open walls.
