chooks eat meat?

Is this just me or does anyone else think this is just bureaucracy gone bonkers?
I realise this law prevents farmers feeding poultry left over rubbish, but what's the harm in us giving our pets good healthy nutritious food for variety? - After all they are meat eaters!
Although thinking about it I suppose if people sell their eggs, where would you draw the line?   

The question has been answered and the law fully stated.  The forum's position is clear on this, so I'm now locking the thread.
