Conversation in garden centre

Saw some people looking at a hutch and run combination yesterdy so I went up and asked them if they already had a rabbit and chirped on that the hutch was a little small and they ought to look at this website. When they could get a word in, they said we are getting chickens:roll: I said, sorry, and left.

When they thought they had escaped me, I got them outside the store and I heard myself say "do you already have the chickens":lol: I then chirped about the Hen Trust and how I intended to take in some ex battery hens etc.
I wasn't having much luck in my educational cap as he said "Im a farmer and I hate chickens, but she wants them". Then he proceeded to tell me how ugly the battery hens look (obviously being cooped up) and she wittered that the feathers are not pretty on battery hens. I then said "Im ugly, but someone loved me, and I think battery hens deserve the same opportunity":roll::roll::roll: No converts that day I guess

"Im ugly, but someone loved me, and I think battery hens deserve the same opportunity"

Bless you. Sounds like you tried your best, and that's all anyone can ask. I hope you don't really think you're ugly, you certainly have a much prettier personality than those guys!
 
They did try their best to lose me but I kept reappearing:lol::lol: I did think whats the chances I encounter a farmer in a garden centre :roll:
 
Thats so depressing, poor hens go through an absolutely horrendous life and then rejected on looks which is caused from the cruelty man puts them through which isnt their fault (not that looks should be of any importance anyway) :( they dont want 'ugly' animals they seem to be shallow people.

It was great of you to say something and definitely worth a try for the sake of the animals, wish more people thought and had compassion like that :)
