CHICKENS’ LIB launch at The Bookcase Hebden Bridge

Today we launch CHICKENS’ LIB by Clare Druce at The Bookcase Hebden Bridge, at 7pm. Clare is a remarkable and indominatable woman, who, over the past 40 years has been campaigning about the conditions of caged hens on battery farms and other feathered friends. When confronted by government obfuscation and intransigence, she demolishes their arguments with research and publicity stunts, like caging humans in Parliament Square. This is a David versues Goliath story and one that is so important given the recent food scares in this country. Food security is an issue that will be dominating the news and when you think that 40% of all antibiotics sold in the UK are used on the farm, then the future question of immunity is a very scary indeed.
