ah well good for the UK then LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 09/11/2009 11:46:29 PM
as far as I know in the US it's just defined along the lines of "open range" (like for chickens), where in it has to be a certain size and it has to be open.

But both are better than "Cageless". Cageless just means a larger cage. The "not cage" can be as little as 1 inch larger than a certain size cage and be sold as cageless.

i was not referring specifically to you. LadyLorraine - 09/11/2009 11:35:01 PM 525 Views
Fair enough, I didn't realise you were making unrelated comments for no clear reason snoopcester - 09/11/2009 11:42:59 PM 549 Views
it was related to what you were saying about standards LadyLorraine - 09/11/2009 11:44:27 PM 517 Views
No, it was not related to what I was saying about chicken raising standards snoopcester - 10/11/2009 10:55:18 AM 537 Views

You should use the quote box thingy on the far right of the Smiley Codes, it would make it easier Danu - 10/11/2009 01:01:02 AM 608 Views

we modified every domestic animal we have random thoughts - 10/11/2009 05:36:37 PM 509 Views

most domesticated animals don't eat what they'd "naturally" eat LadyLorraine - 10/11/2009 01:10:36 PM 566 Views
true. But I think at this point we are getting away from commercially raised and more towards pets. Avendesora - 10/11/2009 02:29:01 PM 644 Views
