It matters where you are born. This is true if you are a chicken. While most laying hens in the US live in cages the size of a file-cabinet drawer, California's new laws require the space for each hen be doubled, enough to let them stand up and extend their wings. The idea of animal welfare seems to be catching on as Oregon, Michigan and Washington are following suits. Furthermore, in India, dairy farmers also begin to believe happier cows can pay off in both healthier milk and bigger profits.
Which statement best sums up the passage?
AAnimal pedigree is a guarantee of food quality.
BAnimal welfare is also an economic issue.正確答案
CFile-cabinet drawers are efficient for egg laying.
DHappier hens make other animals happy.
