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,

    Better living conditions for hens is long over due.If we are able to take the cruelty out of food production we should do so. We are not a nation that is starving, we have the luxury of being selective about our food so lets make a stand about this practice and give animals a better life.

    I can’t believe we have taken so long to ban this cruel practices – why can’t Australia ever lead on some of these issues, other countries always beat us to it.

    These hens need fresh air, green grass, just like we humans, who so value their eggs, like to get ‘outside’.

    Would you like live in a cage..even zoo animals get outside.
