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,

    To keep hens in small cages is simply wicked. All sentient creatures deserve a life worth living. Free them.

    A filthy, shameless and cruel practice that rebounds on us – i.e. the idiots that allow such despicable behaviour – and we pay the price by consuming sub-standard eggs and the flesh of cancerous chickens!

    I stopped eating red meat in 1985 and all animal flesh in 2010. I still eat fish occasionally but am moving almost immutably towards vegetarianism as soon as I can manage. Cruel farming practices of any kind are a part of my decision. Please amend Animal Welfare Standards and in particular in this case, Guidelines for Poultry immediately. Thank you.
