God Wants the Chickens to be Free
First it was Pope Benedict who announced to the world that we should save the environment. Now the Bishop of Rochester is urging his congregation to opt for free range poultry.Speaking in Rochester Cathedral with caged battery hens by his side, Anglican Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali announced that "free-range" originated in the bible, specifically Isaiah 11. I'm not sure exactly which verse he was looking at but it also says that the wolf will be the guest of the lamb and I can't see that happening.
The bible says a lot of things from giving man dominion over animals to telling him not to eat anything that chews cud. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about religious figures urging their flock to support responsible chicken mongers, however, claiming that God supported free-range when there was not alternative seems a little far fetched to me.
