Issue very intense

WELL done and thank you for printing Marilyn’s (Comerford, ‘Mail’, June 16) very important letter, I agree with Marilyn in total.
There is a quantum leap from genuine free range and free range factory farming.
Once the genie is let out of the bottle, the factory farming lobby will run riot.
In a free range factory farm, they use the words: our chickens are free to roam, very few chicks in there, very short life, can leave the shed as they need to be inside the shed for three weeks to grow feathers as they are born without feathers.
So this leaves them two to four weeks if they are lucky just to breathe fresh air, most do not.
Many consumers are unaware when they purchase so-called free range chicken they are buying five to seven-week-old chicks that have been genetically crossed with a turkey to make them grow much faster so they get on the dinner plates much quicker, so the factory farmers can make more money.
The general public need to unite against this amendment and stop it from happening.
