I don't twist things. Those who say that the EU law is different to ours twist things. We should all stick to the EU law as far as care of animals is concerned. Because some people and some countries don't doesn't mean that EU law is any different.
All countries in the EU have animal welfare inspectors. As I said, I know someone who had to go into Bernard Matthews sheds, and closed some down because of the state of the animals in there.
This is how sentient animals are treated.
"The installation is operated by Bernard Matthews Food Limited and comprises four poultry houses, numbered 1, 2, 4 and 5.
Shed 3 is currently used as a store. A layer of approximately 40 mm of soft wood shavings over the whole of the floor area provides bedding in the units prior to bird placement, with additional shavings added as necessary to maintain litter in a clean and dry state during the growing cycle. All litter is exported from the installation for spreading on land owned by third parties, or to electricity generating stations for burning.
The five poultry houses provide a combined capacity for 87,000 commercial stag turkey places. Turkeys are
brought onto the farm at 1 day old, then at 6 weeks old two
thirds of the turkeys are transferred to other
farms, while the remaining turkeys will be depopulated at approximately 20-21 weeks of age. There will be
an average of 2 cycles per annum. "
