Think Before You Eat...
I was sat thinking yesterday evening...
About how many chickens are sold and eaten every single day. In all of the restaurants, in all of the KFC outlets, in all of the supermarkets, in all of the world. Every single day.
We're talking millions here.
And then I remembered a film I'd seen not so long ago.
It was a PETA expose about cruelty to chickens, and the terrible conditions within "battery hen" farms. And I use the term "farm" in the loosest of manners. Most hens never get to see the fresh light of day.
Now... this blog is all about positivity.
When Mother Teresa was asked if she'd protest against war, she declined.
Instead, she insisted on promoting peace.
Think hard about that one.
There's a difference!
In today's blog post, I'd like to share with you two videos that you may find disturbing. They're truthful and honest, but still rather shocking. Conditions in some of these chicken farms are terrible.
But I DON'T want you to as an excuse to sit back and cry about the "pain of it all!"
That's giving energy to the negative.
Instead, take Mother Teresa's approach and simply switch to the positive.
Concern yourself with animal welfare. Take positive actions to help create a more enlightened world. Discover PETA in the US or UK. Make a donation. Sign a petition. Take ACTION.
You can watch the two "battery hen" farm cruelty videos I saw today by clicking here, and here.
And remember... Every journey begins with a single step.
Which step in a POSITIVE DIRECTION are you going to take today?

I couldn't watch this one- i really love chickens. We had them when I was a kid and we let them run loose on the farm and they were very happy chickens... I only buy the "happy chicken" eggs.

Sorry I put you off your nice turkey roast! :D
Perhaps you could buy free range turkey?
I'm not saying we shouldn't eat meat. Just that perhaps we shouldn't support the companies that care little for the animals that form the heart of their business.
