POULTRY REVIEW SUBMISSION

Last chance to make a submission to free hens from battery cages once and for all.

 

To the Australian Animal Welfare Standards and Guidelines review,

I write to ask that the Animal Welfare Standards and Guidelines for Poultry be amended to include a nationwide ban of battery cages and cruel farming practices including but not limited to debeaking, forced moulting, and food and water deprivation.  It is unacceptable that these animals have been condemned to a life of cruelty and exploitation just for the production of cheap eggs.  

The Australian public refuses to allow these cruelties to continue and it is time that the standards reflect that.  

Good animal welfare is a combination of physical and mental wellbeing and natural living. None of these are currently being granted to egg-laying hens. They need space to move, nest and behave naturally. 

So I ask you, please join the ACT, Europe, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Canada in banning the battery cage, debeaking and other cruel farming methods and help improve the lives of millions of hens all around Australia.

Kind regards,

    Are you kidding. How is a civilised nation still doing this. Still trading our conscience for a couple of pennies on the price of eggs. Please end this ridiculously cruel practice. Australian’s deserve agricultural industries that are not founded on Dickensian style torture and pain.

    I hope this is in aid of full free range!

    We have enough land for these chickens to roam free and not live a life of hell as they do in these cages!

    Stop the sale of battery eggs. Australians can afford to pay a little bit more 👍

    This is such a clear moral issue, the cruelty must stop. Please legislate to ban cruelty in the poultry industry.

    It is unthinkable in this day and age that such cruelty is sanctioned. Hens have legs and wings and lungs to breathe and should be given the space they need to walk and flap and breathe and feel the sun on their faces – in open pastures not closed away in cages so small they can’t stand properly let alone walk.
