Poor show tesco
Posted by stubiedoo on Jun 10, 2008After using Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall’s TV programme during the sermon last week to highlight environment Sunday and sugest what we can do, pointing people towards generous.org.uk and A Rocha. I thought I had better follow up my own advice and become a little more active in the campaign process.
I came across Hugh’s current project to oust battery chickens from Tesco, Hugh bought some shares, then, with some like minded shareholders put up a motion to ban battery farmed chicken from Tesco’s shelves. Of course, Tesco were having none of it, and asked Hugh to pay the 86,000 to produce the papers needed!!
Perhaps I am in the luxury position to choose where to shop and buy organic / free range, however… Tesco’s ought to do better for animal welfare and the health of the nation, let’s face it, battery farmed chicken tastes (groan) foul and is a disgrace to such a British institution as Tesco who claim to be oh so wonderful!!
