Holodeck

My solution for the current ‘free range’ versus ‘caged’ debate that is raging on Facebook (and the like) is this:

1. Add a little treadmill to the chicken’s cage so they can move around unhindered
2. Cover the 4 sides and roof of their cages with 5 little 30″ computer monitors
3. Play a nice farm scene on the so-constructed holodeck
4. If needed, for extra reality add a fan (for wind), a spray nozzle (for rain) and a speaker (for farm noises). The smell comes for free.

This is the Matrix for chickens. And they are so, so dumb that even the RSPCA couldn’t argue that they wouldn’t be happy chooks.

The eggs from these chooks would be good enough to chuck at your best mate’s cheating ex-husband’s house.
