Bred to suffer

Every year, around 1 billion cruelly-bred Frankenchickens are raised in the UK. These chickens are bred to grow so big, so fast, that many of them can barely stand by the time they're a few weeks old.

It's simple. These sensitive, intelligent individuals are being bred to suffer. All for the profit of mega-farms and the supermarkets that buy from them.

However, there's an alternative. Supermarkets could sign up to the Better Chicken Commitment - a science-backed set of welfare standards which would end the use of Frankenchickens. Hundreds of thousands of UK shoppers are already calling on supermarkets to do so.

Use our chicken checker now to find out if your supermarket sells Frankenchickens, then ask them to do better.
