| 4,181 | 11:08 am PST, Nov 18 | Ms. | Amanda Reid | 36 | United Kingdom | Animal abuse and cruelty, such as using battery hens, should be illegal and not left up to the marketing departments of profit-hungry corporations. Currently, governments are leaving decisions over basic animal welfare to businesses, who are motivated by profit. The RSPCA reports that 86% of UK consumers are opposed to the battery system. Despite this battery laid eggs are used by the ton in processed foods including mayonnaise, quiche and cakes and 70% of British eggs are still produced at battery farms. Clearly basic animal welfare decisions should not be left up to corporations. The government should ban battery farming outright. Then corporations would have the same level playing field without the option of using animal cruelty to cut costs, or segment prices. |

| 4,176 | 7:01 am PDT, Sep 3 | Ms. | Helen Lux-Bridges | 26 | Australia | Because no animal should suffer just to safe a few cents in the supermarket. Even our harshest and cruelest of criminals are treated better than this. |

| 4,164 | 10:47 am PDT, May 26 | Ms. | Deborah Lorenne | 39 | United Kingdom | The life of an animal should be respected to live a natural life. What right does any one have to control a animal to suffering that is vulnerable and weak. It must be abolished for good |
| 4,163 | 9:56 am PDT, May 16 | Anonymous | 53 | United Kingdom | It is not natural for any animal to be confined in very small spaces.

HELP BAN THE HORROR OF BATTERY HENS !!!
The battery hens spend all there reproductive lives in tiny, empty, wire cages that are so small they cant move, just to suply eggs to shop shelves !
Its hard to explain just how appualling the conditions of the hens and there enviroment is until you've seen them in person or at least in pictures.
Australia has been fighting battery hens for years and years with still no change.
Im starting with Queensland and working my way to hopefully one day ban battery hens compleatly in Australia.
If your not from Australia you might think "well why should i care", but were not doing it for Australia, were doing it to stop this brutal method of farming ( that is happening in other countries too! ), for the animals and there rights and for humane justice,
In hopes to stop battery hens in other states and countries.
Queensland is a small start but with your help we can make a big difference and help the welfare of inorcent hens.
