Would you like to be a caged chicken? I firmly believe that caging chickens should be banned.
One of the main reasons is that caged chickens are squashed. Eighty two percent out of three point two million egg laying hens are caged. In sheds forty five thousand hens are caged. In cages one chicken has a space of one A4 paper to live on.
Another reason is caged chickens get diseases. One of the diseases is rickets, this is caused by lack of vitamin D from no sun in the sheds.
My final reason is chickens can’t act natural. They can’t scratch for food, have a dust bath or stretch or flap their wings. They can’t build nests or perch so they get aggressive and peck each other so their beaks are cut. When a male chicken is one day old he is killed and eighteen month old hens stop laying eggs and they are also killed.
In conclusion I believe hens should not be caged because they are squashed, get diseases and can't act natural.
Hi there, my name is allysse and I am a student in room LH6 at Gisborne Intermediate School. I really like that you have made an effort to post about animal cruelty. It made me think of how mean people can really be. Have you thought about touching on other subjects about animals?. If you would like to see my learning, I don’t really have a blog

ReplyDeleteKia Ora, my name is Amelia and I am a student in Lh6 at Gisborne Intermediate. I really like that you were passionate about what you were writing and I completely agree that chickens should not be caged and that it is cruel. I liked how you had lot’s of information and were hooking the readers and using super descriptive writing. It made me think of how many of the eggs that we buy these days are caged chickens and how chickens should be free animals not caged animals. It also made me think of how dangerous it actually is to keep animals in cages because they could get scarcely sick and cramped. Overall, I think that you did really well in your post and and were really good at hooking readers in and i think that you a wonderfly good at writing.

Kia ora Timiah,
ReplyDeleteI like the way your writing explained about all the things that are wrong about caging chickens. It was interesting that the chickens have to live in an A4 size piece of space. Maybe you could add some more information about what Rickets is and what happens to the chickens who have rickets.
Kia Ora Waihirere,
DeleteRickets is a disease that is caused by lack of vit D and the chickens bones become fragile. Thank you for your helpful comment.

Hi there, my name is Mei and I am a student in room 6 at Gisborne intermediate School. I really like your persuasive writing piece. It made me think of how chickens shouldn’t be banned! Have you thought about how you could also point out the positives of chickens being free range? Or say some other solutions to having caged chickens.
