Berkeley City Council declares its opposition to battery cages

 

BizJournals.com reports: " The Berkeley City Council unanimously

approved a resolution April 24 opposing the use of battery cages

to contain large numbers of egg-laying hens in close quarters. In

part, the resolution said the council 'opposes battery cage egg

production, based on the inherent cruelty of confining egg-laying

hens in battery cages,' and further 'encourages consumers of eggs

not to purchase eggs produced by caged hens.' "

Foster Farms closes processing plant in Oregon

 

The Register-Guard reports: " The once-thriving local poultry

industry has fallen beyond paltry. Foster Farms, the largest

chicken processor in the Western United States, will shut down

the remnants of its Creswell operations on Saturday. The move

will idle the final 15 local employees from a work force that

numbered more than 250 as recently as six years ago, and will

close the book on an industry that has been part of this town for

at least 48 years. "
