The campaign is trying to protect the welfare of UK meat chickens, so I hope it is OK to have made contact via a comment, since you don’t have a contact page.<br /><br />Right now, the UK government is considering new EU legislation that may increase the number of chickens allowed in rearing sheds. Even at current minimum standards, each bird is given less space than a sheet of paper. It’s hard to walk or even flap their wings. But this legislation would allow yet more birds to be squashed in, cutting that space by almost a quarter.<br /><br />We desperately need your readers to join us in urging Jim Fitzpatrick, Minister for Animal Welfare, to make the right choice for UK chickens and quash the squash, by sending an email via our campaign website at http://bit.ly/quash.<br /><br />We have also created a short film called Irritating Chicken to highlight the plight of broiler (meat) chickens. The video can be found at http://bit.ly/ichick.<br /><br />Thanks for your time and any support you can offer,<br /><br />Stefan, on behalf of RSPCARSPCAhttp://bit.ly/quashnoreply@blogger.com
