Australian Investigations
 Animal Liberation Victoria succeeded in rescuing 20 broiler chickens on January 28 after a series of undercover investigations during Australia's recent heat wave at the FOWL FOLLY broiler chicken factory in Parwan, Victoria (approx. 40 mins north of Melbourne).The rescue team had been at this same property five years ago and made complaints, yet nothing was done and now the farm has doubled in size to four sheds each holding 40,000 birds. FOWL FOLLY is contracted out to BAIADA POULTRY, who supply KFC amongst others. The team found thousands of crippled birds, all babies. (Broiler chickens are 'meat' birds raised for their flesh and are killed at the age of 6 weeks old, when they are already the size of adult birds due to genetic breeding... their young bones simply cannot hold their weight). Their mothers, the broiler breeders are only fed every other day. An appeal for help was immediately sent to the Chief Commissioner of Police in Victoria (this letter follows which will also give further details of conditions). We also rang the local police station and asked them to investigate. The Sargent rang the RSPCA to request them to attend (the RSPCA consistently ignore our appeals for help). Ironically the night in-between the entire shed was cleared and totally depopulated and Animal Liberation Victoria had a death threat on its answer machine. A vet examined the birds and most were immediately euthanased with the same prognosis for all but two who may survive for a short time with regular nursing care. (only two of the birds could walk, and then only for short times).

Workers from leading QLD hen and egg producers claim that death figures are fudged and that the RSPCA and DPI collude with the farmers. |
