Help Liberate 13,500 chickens

In 2005 Brighton Animal Action (BAA) legally liberated 4000 chickens in 2 days from a free range farm. They were given permission by the farmer as the chickens had reached the end of their 72 week egg laying productivity.

In April 2007 another 72 weeks will be up and Brighton Animal Action have the opportunity to do this again and this time are aiming to save all 13,500 and have been given 6 day time frame to do this in.

At the end of day 6 the slaughter vans will be waiting and will take any chickens that haven’t been saved. With your help the slaughter vans will leave empty.

What You Can Do

  • Pledge a home for some of the hens, whether 5 or 500 it will make a difference.

  • Animal sanctuaries or people with large barns in the Midlands and in the North  are needed to take several hundred birds for a few days to recuperate before they travel further to their new lives.

  • Brighton Animal Action desperately need crates, cardboard boxes or pet carriers.

  • Drivers and large vehicles are needed to take chickens from the meeting point to their new homes.

  • Brighton Animal Action will need a vet to be on site as even though these chickens are free range they will be in a shed for over a week and some will sustain injuries.

  • If you can help build hen houses for sanctuaries or if you have land please contact Brighton Animal Action (Tel:077791 28239) for more information.

  • This liberation is going to cost money and if anyone can give a donation it would be gratefully accepted. Please make cheques payable to Brighton Animal Action and send them to BAA c/o Brighton Animal Rights Campaign PO BOX 307, Brighton BN2 1HW
