RE: In den Naturpark Neckartal Odenwald soll eine Legehennen Batterie für 15000 Hühner gebaut werden - A petition against factory farming in my area. A "concentration camp" for 15000 hens is planned in a recreational area!

I hope the people get enough signatures. Factory farms do not make life easier nor cheaper for people. If people could get laws and rules passed that require a minimum of 10 square feet for every chicken that would solve a lot of the issues. Bird flu rarely starts out in some small farmer chicken coup, it is generally from a large factory farm and they can cover the loss a lot easier than a shoestring budget farmer.

You are right. People also need to overthink their consumption period. The industry makes us believe that we need more and more and everything everyday.

I remember the days when there was meat on a Sunday and that is it. These days you hear the people say 'oh I can't survive a day without meat/eggs etc'. That is just plain wrong but somehow the majority of people got brainwashed.

I wanna scream

People wake up!
