Chicken served at Le Pain Quotidien comes from birds bred to suffer - kept in filthy, overcrowded conditions. 

These animals, who exist solely to make a profit for Le Pain Quotidien, live a life that simply isn't worth living. They've been genetically selected to grow so fast that their internal organs can't keep up. They're often left in pain, struggling to walk, or even completely immobilised, unable to access food or water. They live in sheds crammed in with thousands of other suffering individuals, on top of layer after layer of their own excrement. 

Le Pain Quotidien has taken action to address this in the USA, but they are still failing animals in Europe. Despite pressure from animal protection groups across Europe, leadership at the company has refused to address the abject misery of the chickens in their supply chain. Many of their competitors are adopting meaningful changes to improve animal welfare. It's time for Le Pain Quotidien to do the right thing.
