Let Europes cows out!

23 million dairy cows are kept inside for the new trend "indoor" farming. More and more cows are  moved in. The cows don't get fresh water, and the food is not very good.

Health Problems:
- Painful illnesses like mastitis and lameness.
- Infertility.
 - Short life times.

It is uncomfortable for the cows and they are easily injured because their housing is cramped and/or poorly designed. They can't roam freely and express themselves. 

This is how it can look at indoor farms...

... But it should look like this!

 You can help the cows by pressing this link www.happycows.eu.  and signing the support petition. And click Here to read the full EU directive content WSPA are proposing.


 I met a woman collecting names for the petition in town and gave me the assignment to write a post about the cows, now I have.

Chick, Chick, Chickens!

           

At the countryside our grandparents have hens. This year they have chickens.  About a month ago they were tiny fluffy things, now they are almost grown-up. Sophia is the one holding the fluffy white one, and you can probably see it is very fluffy compared to the others. These chickens are allowed to roam around the garden as they want with their mother and siblings along with the other hens. There are 6 chickens - four black chicks and two white chicks, there was a golden one as well, but the hawk took it.

             

 When you buy eggs always buy the eggs from organic free-range hens. They get to be outside and inside as they like. Its much better for the hens and the egg yolk is more yellow. 

     

Only a week old!
