Farming chickens is animal agriculture’s most destructive and harmful industry, causing suffering on a scale that is hard to imagine.
The average chicken farmed for 'meat' would live for up to ten years in nature. But chickens who are farmed live for only 42 days. That’s a six-week life.
Whether intensive or ‘free-range’, the health and wellbeing of chickens is severely compromised by fast growth, overcrowding, filthy conditions, and barren environments.
Over one billion chickens are subjected to this in the UK every year.
This huge-scale suffering is strategically tucked away from public view. The industry uses ‘welfare-washing’, showing adverts of chickens living a life of ease, in idyllic outdoor pastures with space to roam and places to explore.
But that's not the reality. We need to do something about it now, and stop as many animals suffering as we possibly can. Are you in? Add your name now.
