  1. Too hard boiled even for Inspector Tequila.

    Shame tho, I had recently been thinking about some as pets too, quite a nasty thing to happen.

  2. “The staff didn’t have the training to remedy the problem”. WTF?? It was 100+ F in there. Alarms were ringing. How fucking hard is it to turn up the cooling? A vet doing an inspection warned them that their vent system was dangerous too.

  3. Humans are so sensitive to their own discomfort that some want other humans jailed for simply looking in their direction for too long, meanwhile this is how we treat other sentient life… Like it literally could not matter less.

  4. They were also only fined £44,000. There were 50,000 chickens in there and 27,000 deaths.

    That’s a fine of less that £1 per bird that suffered and £1.63 per dead bird. That’s no incentive to improve welfare, especially not as they were warned in advance it was going to happen

  5. >An alarm sounded when the temperature rose to 37°C, alerting staff, but it should have been set to go off 10°C lower, the court was told.

    This is a computer error?
