Chicken Open Rescue
Print This Post
Video description: “The Christchurch Open Rescue collective has rescued 37 young hens from a Canterbury battery farm, saving them from living a life of misery in battery cages. The group is part of the wider Open Rescue network across New Zealand, which has rescued battery hens and documented the plight of factory farmed pigs and broiler chickens since beginning in 2006. Open Rescue members openly break the law to rescue animals from exploitation, and document the horrific conditions they live in.”
Interesting, even if they were prosecuted, it would only bring more attention to the conditions these chickens are subject to, and bring more public favor against factory farms and the system that supports them.

She recommends free-range. Perhaps she hasn’t seen how bad those conditions are also.
It’s sad to see idyllic countries like New Zealand engaging in such practices.
