| | | Hugh's Chicken Run.............
New series starts next week from the hairy one, should be good and I hope it opens a few peoples eyes to how the poor old chicken is treated.
"In three hard-hitting programmes, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall explores the horrors of intensive chicken farming. The journey takes him far from the cosy lifestyle of River Cottage and into the harrowing conditions of running his own modern poultry production line." Hugh's Chicken Run | 4Food | Channel4.com |

I like Hugh, he starts crying at one point in the program cause he hates what he is doing to try to open peoples eyes to intensive chicken farming.
Poor chickens  |

We watched it - and very good it was too. Next one tonight I think.
He's got a job on his hands eh?
To try and convince everyone that a £6 chicken is better to buy than a £2.50 chicken.
I hope he manages it, even in a small way.

outstanding effort from hfw, the man deserves a medal for this. It'd be easy to sneak into barns and get footage as has been done before - this is doing the job properly. I'm sure we'll look back in a few years time in disbelief of how we treated these animals.
I hope this spreads to all farming, I'm sure the farmers themselves would be the happiest out of all of us if it did...apart from the animals... |

Doug | or even to persuade the supermarkets to pass more of their huge profits in the direction of the farmers! | | | |
