What is the difference between free range and cage-free poultry?

The term free range applies to poultry and means that the chickens or turkeys have access to the outdoors. According to the U. S.

Department of Agriculture (USDA) website, free range means that "producers must demonstrate to the Agency that the poultry has been allowed access to the outside." They are not required to have access to actual pasture; "free range" simply means access to the outdoors. In other words, a little concrete outdoor area is sufficient.

There are no specifications for when the animals get outside or for how long. In fact, you can't even be sure that they actually made it to the outside area provided. In many cases, free range means that there is a small door at the end of a barn that the birds can go through to get outside if they choose.

If there's nothing out there for them -- no dirt, no grubs, no grasses, no shelter -- the chance that they actually go out is slim. While free-range is a term that is legally defined by the USDA, "cage free" is not formally defined. Cage free typically means that the birds aren't kept in wildly overcrowded, stacked cages.

It doesn't mean that they are roaming about freely outdoors, or even that they have access to the outdoors, and it doesn't say anything about how many birds are together. It simply means that they aren't kept in cages.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
