You're right Ribh. But like many things of this nature it is the consumer/keeper that has the ability to put pressure on the bodies that make the rules to make changes to them.It's not just the keepers, Shad, it's the idiots who make the rules & know nothing about anything. I would have a rooster ~phoenix for choice~ but not only would my neighbours be unhappy, my council would crucify me. Everyone understands why I brought the cats out with me; no~one understands why I didn't just leave the chickens to be killed but they are are as much my pets & companions as the cats are.
The changes that are slowly coming about in commercial egg production were brough about through activist media pressure which triggered a consumer response. Left to the egg industry and the regulators nothing would change.
