There was’nt any free range chickens on the shelf at Tesco’s this mornign. We were told they had only sold 3 more this week, but if they hadnt any on the shelves how could we buy them. Other people were looking for them as well. Keep up the good work, As a family we are all in support of you.

This is brilliant news! Jamie Oliver is also in hot water for exposing the horrible cruelty that chicken folk go through in order to give us eggs and their little bodies to be fed. He actually electrocuted a chicken on TV, something I wouldn’t watch and in normal cases would never condone but as Paul McCartney said “If abbatoirs had glass walls no one would eat meat!”. I’ve seen a huge change even in the last five years regarding eggs. In the old days all the eggs in supermarkets were the stock standard grey boxed eggs, average, dull yolk eggs, without any vim or vigor. I always shopped in markets or health food shops for free range/organic, knowing that the chooks were happy little people. Now the old grey ones are at the end of aisles and mostly (in Australia anyway) all eggs are ‘chook friendly’ in one way or another, endorsed by RSPCA, organic, free range or barn laid. I’m happy with the way the world is becoming more caring for the creatures that we take for granted to give us food. Thanks for the article!

Boy, have you stirred up a hornet’s nest!! At least I’m with you all the way, even if Axminster isn’t.
Nothing happens overnight, but gradually people will be revulsed by what they see happening- THEN the Supermarkets will have to change policy and prices will follow and THEN this barbaric practice will stop. I salute your courage.
