Shirl Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 The OH text me to let me know there's a 2 page article on battery hens in the Independent today. He's going to save it for me but here's their online article. http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/this_britain/article3307570.ece It looks like Jamie and Hugh are really highlighting the batts plight.

Guest Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 The article is about intensively reared broilers. I was just about to post about this and have just watched the video. So upsetting, but all this coverage in the media is brilliant. It's bound to make some people, hopefully, especially, the supermarkets, think about the food they buy! i can't get your link to work shirl so if anyone else has the same problem just go to http://www.independent.co.uk/ and click on the link "The true cost of cheap chicken".

Shirl Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 Thanks Poet. It's odd the link works for me So chickens kept intensively for food aren't known as batts then? Is it purely a term used for egg producers? Apologies for the ignorance. I use the term for both but I'm guessing incorrectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I've added my twopenneth to the comments on the site. I always read other people's comments too. I'd urge everyone to make a comment, they might just get read by the right people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I'm going to make a poster and stick it up on the noticeboard at school on Monday - hopefully some people will watch the programmes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
