Dear Sir,

I am writing to protest about the way hens are treated in many parts of Europe. Farmers keep their hens in very small cages or "batteries". There is not enough place. These cages are so small that the hens can't flap their wings or clean their feathers. They can't move or wash themselves. In cage they can hurt themselves. Usually there are five or six or more hens in each cages or batteries. This is wery bad. we must protest!!! Chicken live in very bad conditions. Farmers shouldn't think only of profit. It is necessary to solve this problem.

I hope you have a heart.

Yours faithfully,
