Send Thanks to Australian Capital Territory for Banning Factory Farms

The first ever ban on factory farming in Australia has been introduced, 

but in a jurisdiction that does not have any factory farms.

The Australian Capital Territory will no longer allow battery cages, 

sow stalls or debeaking - where the chicken's beak is trimmed to stop cannibalism.

The new law comes after 18 years of campaigning for change by the ACT Greens.

Jed Goodfellow is doing a PhD on animal welfare regulations in Australia. 

He says while the new laws are symbolic they will also set a precedent for other states to follow.

'As we saw in Tasmania, the Tasmanian Government has foreshadowed similar legislative development,' he said.

Way to go!
