Adorable Chickens: Video/Photo Contest #CageFreeJapan

We must not look down on chickens. Chickens are actually very cute, very smart, and very affectionate.

Some of you may have chickens living at your place, or at relatives’ or friends’ places.
We are now soliciting videos and photos showing the charm of chickens as a contest!

Chicken’s beauty, cuteness, smartness, friendliness, kindness, silliness, parent-child relationship, interactions with other animals including humans, etc… Anything is fine!
You can also add an episode about the chicken(s) to the photo, too.

At more than 90% of egg farms in Japan, chickens are reared in cages with others with a space of about 20cm x 20cm per bird. These rearing facilities are called battery cages, and are on a trend to being prohibited worldwide. We’d like to show that they are definitely not animals who should be treated that way!
