International respect for Chickens Day 4th May

IDA India has posted a petition to Prevent cruelty to chickens during transport in and around Greater Mumbai. Terrible cruelty is meted out to these birds every step of the way, until the moment of slaughter. As our contribution to ameliorate the suffering they go through, we have created this petition to be sent to the Transport Commissioner and the Commissioner of Animal Husbandry, Maharashtra. They have been requested to simply enforce the rules that have been amended in 2001 for the transport of poultry. Please do sign our petition which is on site till 3rd of June 2009. You'll find it at http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/Prevent-Cruelty-To-Chickens
