Do you know about the life your fresh supermarket chickens led before they reached the table?
Few people know about the conditions suffered by most broiler chickens - those reared for meat.
95% of the chicken eaten in the UK has been intensively farmed.
Farmers are under pressure to produce poultry as quickly and cheaply as possible - which means birds live short lives, in cramped conditions, without ever seeing natural daylight. They commonly develop severe injuries and disabilities, associated with unnaturally fast weight gain and restricted movement.
The plight of egg-laying, battery caged hens has received much attention in recent years, and consumers have responded, greatly reducing the proportion of bought eggs which come from intensive systems. 27% of UK egg production now comes from free range farms. Now it's time to do the same for broiler birds.
