magamamma Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 What a "Ooops, word censored!"le cause. I am completely happy with they're quest to ban battery hens. I cant think of three more influencial people to do this. Although... i did just read that hugh is planning to create his own battery farm!!! I was gobsmacked that he thought this was a good idea. I fully understand that the battery farmers are never going to support this but they need to be realistic that people are starting to care about the food they buy a lot more and this is going to spiral out of their control. I cant see why making a few more hens suffer for scaring the nation into buying free range or even organic poultry and eggs is a good idea. Why dont we feed up some kids on tv and make them seriously obese to scare the neglectful mothers whoo fill thier kids with junk to show them how bad it is... or gas a few more innocent people to show how horrific the second world war was. An eye for an eye turns the whole world blind. It's a bad example and its hypocritical what do you think??? maggie in l'head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100%. There must be tons of footage showing the horrors of battery farming, why don't they show some of this instead of creating another torture chamber? I hope with the backing of these three famous people (actually I can't abide gordon) people do sit up and start to realise what hens go through to supply them with cheap meat and eggs.
