Managers of a battery farm south of Auckland have denied claims of cruelty 
after anonymous activists said they had liberated 44 starving hens from cages 
containing the decomposing bodies of thousands of other birds. 
Bob Kerridge of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said 
officers were investigating the Glenbrook property, but so far had found "what 
you would expect on a battery farm". 
Mainland Poultry Ltd said the hens had been culled humanely, but the 
contractor had not arrived to remove the carcasses.

not because of those who do evil,
but because of those who look on and do nothing.",
