Chicken alive but injured: 100 dumpt chicken into the pit.

Mark Eden, said Every time we visit factory farms we find evidence of illegal animal cruelty. The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry are supposedly in charge of enforcing animal welfare standards but no one bothers to inspect the farms. If the government was serious about animal welfare they would be inspecting farms and enforcing the laws themselves, instead of leaving it to volunteer groups like us.

The Open Rescue Collective are asking MAF to make a formal investigation and prosecute whoever was responsible for dumping a live chicken into the pit. The activists have notified the Horizons Regional Council who are now investigating whether the property owner has resource consent to dump hundreds of chickens alongside household waste in an open, fly-infested pit.

Good, I'm glad there was no jail time to the guy. i don't care what the ass farmer says, he needs to clean up his act, run an appropriate farm or be prepared for this to happen again. Better yet, as old as that farmer looked, he could always retire & sell the farm. There's an idea!
