Petition No 10 to Ban Battery Farmed Chickens

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Ban Battery Farming of Hens and gradually fade out all Battery Farming in the UK. It is inhumane and cruel to the animals. In the 21st Century all farming should become free range. Britain should lead the way.

One of the more worthwhile foodie related petitions on the No 10 website. Have you seen the end result - of battery hens compared to free range? Staggering.

Chickens go through such torture. I cant even imagine it. People who can do those sorts of things to animals disgust me. Battery farms are a disgrace and parliament is a disgrace for letting them carry on for so long.

It makes no sense as to why the government allows such cruelty to these poor defenceless creatures.You would have thought in this day and age we would have evolved from such barbaric treatment to a living ,breathing soul.The goverment are not going to earn respect if they continue to let these kind of things continue. Do the right thing and STOP IT NOW!!

How would gordon Brown like it if we stuffed him in a cage?
Every animal has a right to its freedom, and just because us humans are bigger than a lot of other animals and have opposable thumbs doesn’t mean we should bully other animals.
If a human was kept in a cage, it would be all over the news, but for some reason its alright if we do it to a harmless animal???
There’s nothing more i can say, except this:
Stop battery farming. Stop it now.
