Voiceless,
the charity fund for animals, will launch a report today detailing
Australia's chicken farming industry, which slaughters around 470
million chickens per year.
Location: The Mint, Sydney Address: 10 Macquarie St Charity affiliation: Voiceless Date : Monday, 24 November 2008 Time : 6:00pm to 8:30pm Website: www.voiceless.org.au Former NSW premier Bob Carr will be joined by other celebrity animal activists in launching 'From Nest To Nugget: an exposé of Australia's chicken factories'. Voiceless’s report on Australia’s chicken factories lifts the veil of secrecy surrounding an industry which saw approximately 470 million chickens slaughtered in 2006/07 in battery farms. There will also be the announcement of the 2008 grant recipients, who will receive funding totalling $136,500, including the inaugural ‘Against Factory Farming Grant’. Hugo Weaving, a patron of Voiceless, attend the launch alongside Triple J presenter Lindsay Macdougall, model Imogen Bailey and others.
