🚨🇪🇦🚨🇪🇦NEW REGULATION ON HENS: A BLOW TO TRADITION OR A HEALTH NECESSITY? #GallinasFelicesSinBurocracia

The recent legislation requiring the registration of hens for self-consumption has sparked intense debate in Spain. While authorities defend the measure as a crucial step to ensure food safety and prevent diseases, many small producers see it as an attack on their traditions and a blow to their economy. Fines for failing to register hens can range from 600 to 3,000 euros.

Voices of Concern

"It's excessive and costly paperwork," laments María, a farmer from Toledo. "We have always had hens at home and there have never been any problems." Like her, many small producers fear that the new regulation will hinder egg production for self-consumption, a practice rooted in Spanish rural culture.

The Economic Impact

The requirement for registration and health inspections represents an additional expense for small producers, who are already facing economic difficulties. Some fear that the measure will force them to abandon their activities, concentrating production in large companies.

What do you think? Do you believe the new regulation is necessary or excessive?
