But I was on a work deadline, so by the time I arrived at the zoo the vulture had eaten several pork chops and some very nice free-rangechicken. they said, “come on over and we’ll give you as much as you need.” Yes,” I said to my friend, “there’s some other stuff you can feed him.”.
I believe that chickens should have room to stretch and walk around. Hetty Alcuitas, a volunteer with Grassroots Women, said she sympathizes with the environmental and animal-rights arguments against caged chickens. Tags: proposition 2 eggs factory farm food chickens. I am a firm supporter of reforming factory egg farming.
By far the most commonly seen bird on most of the islands in the region – and the only one every islander can identify on call – is Gallus gallus (the feral chicken). Also frequent escapees (or very freeranging domestics) are guinea fowl and to a lesser extent a number of other gamebirds up to and including peacocks.
I have fed Charles Hobson Booger, III and Violet Rays every type of diet from raw (as in, turkey necks and chicken backs) to pre-made raw (comes in patties with greens and bones and supplements in it), to homemade vegan to Evolution to pre-made vegan ingredients to a combo. Despite Violet's diabetes, she was never the problem.
Never give cats chocolate, for example, and always use only small portions of tuna, liver or chicken if concocting little cat crackers or other types of kitty treats. By and large, human food does not make good cat treats, although there are a few things that are suitable if prepared with care.

This last implies of course an improvement in ethics, as opposed to morality, as I have defined it, unless we already understand 'Do as you would be done by' as applicable to whales, cattle, chickens, and so on, as it is to human beings. Perhaps in order to qualify for a moral elite one should become a heroic vegetarian like Peter Singer.
We have a hard enough time figuring out what makes people happy, but chickens? The idea that eggs from free-rangechickens are somehow morally superior to other eggs is, frankly, weird. Are they happier scratching around the barnyard or sitting confined in cages?
Niman for pasturing the animals to provide all the beef, turkey, chicken and pork eaten in this country? A “freerange” bird eats insects, as well as plants, so it gets more nutrition out of the same amount of land than do her cattle, which eat only the grass. Would no forests need to be cut down to create the pastures?
To the Editor: Re “ Suddenly, the Hunt Is On for Cage-Free Eggs ” (front page, Aug. 12): While this is a step in the right direction toward reducing the animal abuse inherent in all factory farming (from the chicken’s point of view), it’s still a long way from what nature intended.
