#free range

[acti-veg]

Animal Justice Project claims that far from roaming freely, “these hens were trapped within overcrowded sheds with their basic needs neglected”. The rules also state that farms can house up to 2,500 birds per hectare. But the organisation says that in reality, that means up to 16,000 hens can be crammed into a shed.

That equates to nine hens per square metre – or the equivalent of putting 14 people in a one-bedroom flat. As a result of the Animal Justice Project probe, the RSPCA suspended the three farms from its assurance scheme, pending an investigation, saying it was “extremely concerned” by the “upsetting” footage.

The last rainbow eggs of the season have been gathered.

There will be no more of these delicious and naturally-produced eggs until the early spring.

PSA: "free range hens" are a scam. They're not well treated, they're still treated like egg making machines. They're still abused. They still get killed. They're still exploited. And the male chicks get killed right as they're born.

It's also not natural for a hen to lay 300 eggs per year. We manipulated them to do so. It takes a huge toll on their bodies and makes them die faster.

Go vegan.

Not to worry, just the British Free Range Producers Association opposing requirements to give birds natural daylight and access to outdoor spaces… You know, the thing everyone believes free range already includes?

Their concern is that there is ‘no evidence of any obvious financial return for producers.’ How can anyone honestly believe that free range or animal welfare means anything at all when the industry speaks like this openly in their own publications?
