Battery hens......

Don't know if this helps MM: You don't say if it's North, South, East, or West.

Contact Us. Trading Standards Service, West Yorkshire Joint Services

I appear to a have confused you again BM, Yorkshire Trading is the chain of shops that I bought the tank in. I don't know if trading standards was the route I want to go down, more that I just wanted to contact the company and ask them to change the wording so it doesn't look they are condoning keeping pets in there.

Your link was helpful though as I now have found the website I need to
contact the company.

Years ago when I was about 14 I had a friend in the village and I would go to his house to play chess some evenings. His father was very similar to Brian Blessed complete with booming voice, he was an internationally recognised angling writer, his entire life revolved around fish and fishing and other green subjects. Well one night the subject of our battery cages came up. He made no secret of the fact that my father and I, in his opinion, should be rammed into a tiny cage for the rest of our lives.It was quite intimidating to a 14 year old boy.
The point of this upload is that a few years later I happened to catch a news report on TV of him having his arse kicked and his tackle thrown in the river by a gang of "Fishing is barbaric" supporters. I have to admit it gave me great satisfaction. But more than that it illustrates how delicate the line (no pun intended) is regarding our perception of what is cruel.
Who knows in a few years time their will be a gardening is cruel and unnatural to plants movement ( if there isn't already.

Hmm I struggle with fishing as a sport although am fine with a lot more of it for food as at least there is a point to it. Not simple at all. However, most importantly, we're you friends with the son of J R Hartley?
