I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if thousands of chickens suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

I bet this didn't make the 6 o Clock news

What I see is torture and cruelty. This torture must be stopped.

no excuse for cruelty to animals

Hello

There’s one bad egg in every company

This is an unlawful arrest

Animal right activists are just too crazy. Would a tiger be jailed for cruelty towards other animals?

He's shelled for life

Foul play suspected?

Great result. The state of those photos are not what people expect from 'free range'. He should have been banned from keeping animals for life and he shouldn't be allowed to operate a farm again.

Can you confirm if his prison cell will not have a toilet, he won't be able to leave the cell at any time, and his food may sometimes contain a bit of rat poison?

This is eggcellant news.

He's a shell of his former self

Justice

Being a director is not all its cracked up to be
