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.
