Every egg stolen from a kidnapped factory farmed chicken <br />is 32 hours she spent in jail, crammed in often with 8 other <br />inmates, her claws sometimes growing around the wire mesh <br />like roots around a rock..immobilizing her. If she is force molted <br />she can freeze to death. If the electricity goes out in winter <br />in her metal shed she freezes. If the electricity goes out in summer <br />she broils to death. If a tornado comes, her shed can be flattened <br />and she crushed to death. She is debeaked because otherwise the <br />overcrowding would cause pecking injuries. <br /> <br />In her natural state she can fly to low branches.<br /><br />O Anna Niemus<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/32-hours-of-jail/
