A barn at a UK factory farm, housing 19,000 chickens, caught fire last night. Says a spokesperson from the fire department:
Remarkably, no birds were injured or killed in the fire and this is credit to the team.
That is truly remarkable. This has to be the feel-good story of 2008, except for one minor detail: every single one of those birds will be getting their throats cut in just a few weeks anyway. Link.
