‘A timely reminder of why we should splash out on free-range or organic poultry … a compelling, if gruesome read’ (Anna Shepard, The Times )

Very interesting on the treatment of live chickens, and the info on the US. Important issues set out well. Great read. Hope some decision makers are reading this because they need to.

This book is packed full of information about chickens and their history and journey through to the factory farm. However, as a vegan I was hoping that there would be a better outcome than to simply "go free range!" In fact I found the chapter in which the author talks about extracting the legs and how to cook the chicken quite disturbing! Im sure they'd be much happier if we refrained from eating them altogether
