Green Issues

I seem to have a feather pecking problem with the chickens. Looks like the solitary black rock is being picked on by the ex-bat chickens. Might have to either isolate the ex-bats or find another plan B as I don't like the look of a poor ole black rock with feathers missing on the back of her neck. I do wonder if the pecking behaviour is inherent for birds that have been brought up in small busy cages with little free space.

Animal Aid have exposed the abuse of animals in their before their slaughter. The Guardian has good coverage of the abuse and a rather sickening video. I've seen a lot of 'we must tighten up laws' on twitter around this issue, but the real thing we must do is tighten up our morals. These people should not be compelled in any way to want to do these things, and I'm certain consumers would not want a product with 'we treat animals with great cruelty' stamped on the box.
