It’s time to stop breeding
fast-growing chickens
Most New Zealanders agree. Do you?
Selective breeding over the last 50 years has caused chickens to grow so big, so fast, they’re growing like…. well…. cancer.
Chickens are now grown so rapidly their legs often can’t support their unnatural, heavy bodies. They’re in pain with each step they take.
This is the same for every chicken reared for meat in New Zealand, including SPCA Certified, free-range, and organic. It’s time to stop this unnatural growth.
By food businesses adopting improved welfare standards, we can ensure chickens no longer suffer from poor genetics. We can give them more space and enrichment for a higher quality of life.
Ending the suffering of farmed animals.
Kia mutu ai te whakataumaha i ngā kararehe pāmu.
