Big "success" for animal welfare in Austria

Animal welfare people care a lot about animals. But sometimes I think, if those fellows would mind their own business and and did something else, it would be better - for the animals, for the people in the country, for everybody.

It is not that these chickens are now going to be killed...It's that they are now going to be killed "sooner".Battery hens stop being "productive" at 18 mos- then it's off to the soup factory. Meanwhile, it's less profitable to be in the egg business thus less "farms".Of course others exist outside this jurisdiction, but they did before anyway.Also, importing eggs from such a distance will be seen as inefficient (expensive) - thus reducing consumption, promoting veganism and lestening suffering.

This "far distance" is one hour per car from Austria's capital, and also "happy chickens" end up in the soup. They still die, you know.

Really: The ONLY effect this has is that it makes egg production for domestic farmers more expensive, and that several 1000 chickens got gassed. There are no other consequences.

Wow...

@lordthawkeye but that happens everyday anyway

[lordthawkeye]

@badong28 Only if your goal is the senseless deaths of thousands of chickens...were you not paying attention?

"And if you did not get it - banning batteries in one country but still importing the respective products just means that the production will MOVE ABROAD."

Maybe child molesting should be allowed in western countries, because many child molestors just travel to other countries and molest child prostitutes instead...? I don't know... kind of makes sense...?

[badong28]

still seems like a step in the right direction to me.

@thatnazifromaustria Again, the utterances of a moron. You ask the questions, (a) how can suffering be measured. (b) how can you tell when chickens suffer more? Since you believe that suffering is impossible to measure, then why make it illegal for individuals to slowly torture and kill dogs and cats? Why use anesthesia while performing vivisection? Why not allow animals to fight and kill one another for entertainment? The mind of a fascist is truly amazing to behold.

@thatnazifromaustria You are such an imbecile with the most convoluted logic that I've ever encountered on youtube. According to your argument, there's no point in banning slave labor (unjust labor exploitation) because it will mean that we'll just purchase cheaper imported products made from slave labor. Like all of your arguments you use circular reasoning. Your morality is stuck in it's infantile stage, you are a 30 year old halfwit who focuses on minutia.

You're such an idiot. Boo hoo, some Austrian chicken farmers will go out of business.  Your such a propagandist, as if you give a shit about the welfare of the chickens that will be killed. You cry crocodile tears, fascist propagandist. It's amazing that you are up in arms about animal rights while ignoring the rise of fascism in your country. Alas, Nero fiddled as Rome was burning. Your ignorance and blatant hypocrisy never cease to amaze me.
