Hard to say without context. While taking chickens' eggs does sound (and inherently is cruel), not even animal rights types care too much. It's just so ingrained in society.
The difference is when we talk about factory egg farms. Y'know, when they put chikens into their own tiny cage so they can't turn around in it, their head poking out into the feed box, and they can only lay their eggs into a hatch - no collection required.
Then the eggs get inspected, worse sent for birthing new chickens, and better ones being sold.
Then those for breeding chicken get inspected when the gender of the baby can be known, and 99.9% of male eggs get thrown into a fucking shredder (because you only need 1 rooster per 12-ish breeding hens).
This is what most concerned people have an issue with.
Why is it cruel if they're unfertilized eggs? I mean you could leave them, but then you'll just have a bunch of rotten eggs everywhere.
Oh definitely don't want to leave the eggs. You'll end up with chickens that eat eggs.
