The difference being though is that the poor Chickens have not committed any crime to be treated so appallingly...
In my view you cannot make a comparison, Prisoners have done the crime, and are doing the time.
They deserve to be locked up.
:idea: hmmmm....just got an idea for another "litmus test" of which people are possible new friends ..... to go along with the "do you agree with hunting?" one.
Who decides on what is acceptable? And do 'they' ever get things wrong?
It seems so far 80%+ may think the chickens deserve a better level of acceptability.
If you were offered a chicken slowly grown on a completely free range organic diet for the same price as a similar sized chicken raised in just 40 days in the crap conditions shown last week on Channel 4, What would you chose? Thought so - The first option. Why?
