We have just a few weeks to help millions of chickens. This month, the Canadian agriculture industry released a draft of its revised code of practice for chickens and turkeys. The public is invited to comment on this draft for consideration before the final is published next year.

The government does not regulate farm conditions in Canada, choosing instead to fund and endorse the codes of practice. These codes of practice are the closest to farm regulations that we have.

The draft code of practice is badly deficient. Most alarmingly, it totally fails to address genetic selection for rapid growth, which renders animals in systemic, chronic pain. The rapid growth of broiler chickens leads to lameness, heart failure, and compromised immunity.

Please sign and share this petition urging the poultry industry to end genetic selection for rapid growth. Then visit our site to find out what else you can do. The only voice the chickens have is ours!
