It’s still very unclear that the decrease in pain in cage-free system would not be significant enough to make the intervention not worth funding. What has convinced you specifically?
Rather than being convinced that cage-free is worse, I’m just not convinced it’s better, so why support it?
I’m not convinced nest deprivation reaches the disabling intensity. It’s definitely possible, and I not very unlikely, but it’s hard to say either way based on the current evidence. And whether or not it does, maybe keel bone fracture inflammation pain could still just be at least few more times intense anyway.
I voted for The Humane League UK (meat/broiler chicken welfare), Fish Welfare Initiative, Shrimp Welfare Project and Arthropoda Foundation for cost-effective programs for animal welfare with low risk of backfire. I’m specifically concerned with backfire due to wild animal effects (also here), or increasing keel bone fractures for cage-free hens, so I avoid reducing animal product consumption/production and cage-free work.
What was your thinking on Humane League UK vs Humane League?
THL UK is focusing on meat/broiler chicken welfare, while I’d guess THL is doing a lot of cage-free egg work, which I want to avoid.
Write that’s A but confusing for your average punter 😂.
