Sick!

 

My mates watched a video in Biology today, and the video basically was saying that The Battery Industry is the only reasonable egg industry. I asked them all about it so that I could tell you guys, I have successfully converted my friends to free-range egg buyers! Some of them are regular customers to me!

 

It said that:

Chickens liked to live very close to other chickens.

They are unaffected by the close confinement!

The farmer can guaranteee whether the egg is fresh or not, because free range hens hide their eggs, and no age can be guaranteed.

The chicken can live with very little food and water.

5 chickens in a cage is reasonable, they do not need more space!

The meat from the broiler industry is of better quality and safer because you can't guarantee what a free-range hen has eaten!

The chickens like to have a small space to lay in.

They lay better in close confinement!

 

:evil::evil::evil::evil::evil::evil:

 

What a pack of lies!

Maybe the producers of that film should come and meet my girls when they are rescued and see if they still have the same opinion!

 

The film might have been paid for by representatives of the battery industry - all we can do Martin is try and educate people the best we can - given two images, one of a battery hen and one of a free range hen any sane human would be able to tell you which one is the most healthy. :D

 

Dont believe the hype.

Do the BHWT produce any videos of their own? Perhaps then it too could be shown in schools to give students a balanced view so they can then make up their own minds.

 

But as Emma says seeing images of them both it is pretty clear which is the happiest and healthiest!

I wonder if it's an old film. BHWT is hoping to get some positive filming out there. Obviously not battery farms but a rescue day.

 

It's an odd thing in the current climate to put into a school, that's what makes me think it's odd. :?

 

More reason for meeting the public, rational education. :D

They will all sell at Jimmy's farm :wink: Except for the one that Buffster is reserving for me....

 

Buff - have you approached Omlet about selling them in the shop?

 

No, not sure how we can work it Clare, free advertising space perhaps :? Sales would need to come from our droitwich distribution centre...Link in the shop?

 

 

BBxx :?

I'll be starting a new sticky this week for BHWT, with all the up to date rescue numbers and forthcoming events, info and news etc. This topic will be allowed to move through the NB but will still be around for reference :D

 

Thanks for your continued support :D
