Also alway post warnings if links lead to picks that might be distressing to some. It might be reality but so are car crashes and I think a person should be able to choose not to look. |
I apologise for not posting a warning. However, if it's distressing to some, then why are they on the Internet? I sometimes feel sick when reading some of the things I have to during filing, but that doesn't make the reality go away, and that's why volunteering in this way is so important to me.
The situation is this. Our undercover investigator at AfA was doing his job when he noticed and exposed Glenrath Farms, who supply Tesco and Asda (in Scotland anyway), were breaching basic animal welfare regulations. Tesco and Asda have not yet given a firm commitment to stop supplying eggs from caged hens in the near future, and AfA wants them to.
See website for further details, and again I apologise for any graphic images you may find en route to the page needed
The other thing is that the EU wants to postpone the Ban for 2012. This must not happen. I was out with the CIWF last August as well, although I missed them this year in Glasgow as I didn't feel well in Stirling when Jo and friend were on tour, and I got sent home early!
Here is the link for the CIWF page too
CIWF - Tesco urged to Cage-free and I promise, no upsetting images en route to this page
