Instead of boiling 19,000 chicken eggs for decorating and the annual South Lawn roll, the White House is being urged to use ceramic replacements for its 138th Annual Easter Egg Roll on March 28.

“For the hens crammed into tiny wire cages, an Easter egg hunt is nothing to crow about,” says PETA President Ingrid Newkirk. “PETA is calling on President and Mrs. Obama to consider making their last White House Easter Egg Roll the kindest one in U.S. history.”
