Dear Editor
It has taken many years of public pressure to get improved conditions for factory-farmed chickens, even after their horrendous treatment was exposed.
The vast majority of people who agree all animals should be treated with care will be horrified to learn of a proposal being put to Derbyshire County Council by Midland Pig Producers for permission to build a vast pig factory to confine 25,000 pigs until ready for slaughter. It is well known that pigs are highly intelligent outdoor animals and they would seriously suffer being confined, whatever conditions apply.
This way of treating animals must be resisted and stopped. Please write, email or fax Derbyshire County Council asking them to reject the application.
