I will be happy if there are more anti-cruelty regulations in the future, especially since there are virtually none for chickens. Chickens and other poultry animals are raised in horrific conditions, and you wouldn't want to eat commercial chickens if you could see how they "live." On the other hand, cage-free means almost nothing. All these definitions are very loose, like the word "natural" being slapped on all kinds of junk food bags.
The best thing to do is buy from a local egg seller or just raise your own hens. I have chickens, and they're fun and easy to care for. And they give me more than enough eggs for a small household.
The answer to that problem is not more legislation…the government is not here to save us, and never will be.
What do you think the answer is? It's a serious question and I'm curious how you'd suggest we solve such a big problem. Without any regulations, chickens lie around in their own filth with broken legs and severed beaks, stacked on top of each other. Live male chicks are sent into a shredder as soon as they hatch. At least cows and pigs have SOME protection, though not much.
I think that we as American Citizens have the responsibility to expose and boycott these monsters. If real, small farmers were given fewer regulations and a more even playing field, these large corporate (mostly Chinese owned) farms would be out of business. We need less regulation, less government and more concerned activist citizens cleaning up these messes.
I can get behind this idea and would be happy to be an activist for this cause. God bless you.
