krusewalker Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 (edited) might be wrong, but im guessing this forum could get done under some sort of collusion/conspiracy/promotion criminal offence by allowing this thread. also, battery hens arent genetically engineered to live after a certain age and suffer all sorts of illnesses once they continue after that time. (worked at a rescue that legally took on some x-battery hens, they all developed terribly and none lasted long).

sproggie14 Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 (edited) No the farmer is clearing out his stock and is not fussed whether the hens go to homes or to the dog food factory. Tis all legal and above board ;) It's true that battery hens don't often live to full life expectancy but if they get a year of a nice life rather than going straight from hell to the slaughter house then I think that's a bloomin brilliant thing.

krusewalker Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 (edited) oh, my apologies. by 'liberate', thought the op meant illegally It's true that battery hens don't often live to full life expectancy but if they get a year of a nice life rather than going straight from hell to the slaughter house then I think that's a bloomin brilliant thing. thats a fair point, although i would say our x-battery hens did not live a nice life, as such. as they suffered illnesses for most of it and had trouble walking and breathing. but at least they got some daylight and sunlight.

alipally Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 We have had ex-battery hens that have lived for nine years and the average has been seven so I guess it must be the luck of the draw. We managed today to rescue well over a thousand birds so not bad work for 5 days notice. Thank you to all those who supported us.
