Hi

Please excuse this OT post. I know some of you here keep livestock,
poultry, pets etc or are just interested in animal welfare. If you have a
minute to spare, please can you sign the RSPCA petition to ban all cages for
laying hens by 2007, as opposed to the year 2012 that the government has
agreed to. You can access the petition form at

Thank you.

Will do. It would be a good idea if egg suppliers were made to put
statements like "These eggs are from battery hens" on their egg boxes
instead of "Farm Fresh" and "Natural" and meaningless tosh like that.
