🐔 Example – Factory Farming of Chickens

• Human needs:

  • Affordable source of protein for a growing population

  • Employment and income for farmers, processors, and supply chain workers

  • Food security at national and global levels

• Animal welfare concerns:

  • High stocking density → overcrowding, stress, aggression

  • Limited ability to perform natural behaviours (e.g., dustbathing, foraging, perching)

  • Health issues: lameness, rapid growth, respiratory problems

  • Beak trimming to prevent injurious pecking

• Possible compromises/solutions:

  • Improved housing design (lower stocking density, enrichment, perches)

  • Breeding for slower-growing strains to reduce health issues

  • Certification schemes (e.g., RSPCA Assured, free-range labels) to balance welfare with consumer demand

  • Encouraging consumers to pay slightly more for higher-welfare products

• Key stakeholders:

  • Farmers and agricultural workers

  • Food retailers and consumers

  • Animal welfare organisations (e.g., RSPCA, Compassion in World Farming)

  • Policy makers and regulators (e.g., DEFRA, EU, FAO)

  • The chickens themselves as sentient beings

Human need for entertainment more important than the welfare of the animal, possible compromise could be important information about housing could be taught before purchase of the animal.

Welfare concerns - 5 needs aren't being met.

Possible compromises - have a space the elephants can exhibit natural behaviours, not open to the public 24/7. Let them come to the humans not humans to them.

Should do proper research before owning these types of pets.
