"We have a responsibility to imitate the natural food chain of the animals — in terms of both animal welfare and professional integrity," Aalborg Zoo says.
These were laying hens though. They would have been better off as zoo food than put in my freezer as crab bait. I don’t think it’s bad to be close to food production. I’m a farmer.
15 laying hens hardly take up much space for laying. Surprising they didn’t just rig up a quick place for them to find cover and let them wander the yard until they figured out a more permanent solution. With hurricane debris around, repurposing wood that’s around shouldn’t be hard to find. Hell some people I’ve seen just throw the wood they bought to cover windows down by the road for trash to pick up. They could have found a downed tree and an ax and they would have hadenough to build a quick structure. Chickens don’t ask for much
