Christchurch Open Rescue

The Christchurch Open Rescue collective has rescued 37 young hens from a Canterbury battery farm, saving them from living a life of misery in battery cages. The group is part of the wider Open Rescue network across New Zealand, which has rescued battery hens and documented the plight of factory farmed pigs and broiler chickens since beginning in 2006. Open Rescue members openly break the law to rescue animals from exploitation, and document the horrific conditions they live in.

I REMEMBER YEARS YEARS AGO WHEN BATTERY HENS HAPPENED, THERE WAS 1 HEN IN EACH CAGE WHICH WAS ENOUGH FOR THEM TO HAVE ROOM ECT.. NO DAYS IN THIS MODERN SOCITY THERE ARE 5 OR MORE HENS IN EACH CAGE WHICH IS OUTRAGOURS TO THINK THEY HAVE NO ROOM AT ALL!!!

Chickens are wonderful animals, and like you said, they deserve just as much as we do, if not more. God bless you all for rescuing so many innocent lives!

Rock on! Buying free range eggs and broilers sends egg industries the right message. Better yet, keep your own to be 100% sure the eggs you're cooking with were laid by cage free hens.
