Will Burnaby Chicken Out?
Three BC cities have passed resolutions banning the use of battery-cage eggs in city-run facilities and events. I am sorry to say my home city of Burnaby is not yet one of them. Come on, Burnaby, what are we waiting for?
It’s time. Chickens before “cheep” egg prices. In other words, let’s put the chicken before the egg.
Click here to read my column in the October 10 issue of the Burnaby NOW, and then, if you live in Burnaby, email our Mayor [mayor.corrigan@burnaby.ca] with your thoughts. If you live elsewhere and think a resolution to use cage-free eggs is a good idea, then write your mayor and say so.
These kinds of changes are happening because individual citizens are taking the time — five minutes, at most — to make their voices heard on behalf of animals.
It’s time. You can do it — go talk to your Mayor. And let me know how it goes.
