Tegel chicken meat
Notice that Tegel are labeling their packaged chicken at the supermarkets as cage free. This is playing with words trying to imply these chickens for slaughter are being grown under better or improved conditions. Broiler or table chickens have not had their living conditions improved they were never kept in cages that is laying hens only so the label “cage free” is just a marketing ploy addressed to customers to make them feel better about the chicken they are buying for eating not understanding what miserable lives broiler chickens “live”
Under the few short weeks from hatching to slaughter. No I am note vegetarian and eat all meats just think the lives of some meat animals could be improvements
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
