The second and final day of our landmark court hearing has drawn to a close. We must now wait for the verdict, which could take several weeks.

We may be on the brink of the biggest victory for animals in the UK in 200 years. One that could change the lives of billions of chickens.

Waiting to hear the court's decision is going to be hard. Really hard.

But look at what we have already achieved.

The suffering of fast-growing chickens raised for meat is no longer a fringe topic. It's a national conversation.

Our court case has been covered by the BBC, The Mirror, The Telegraph, The Mail, The Independent, and over a hundred other outlets.

Celebrities including Chris Packham, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Peter Egan, Kirsty Gallacher, Lucy Watson, and Shaun Ryder have all shown their support.

Yesterday, you helped get #JusticeForChickens to one of the top 10 hottest topics on X (Twitter) in the UK.

Win or lose, together we have started a tidal wave of change.

All that's left to say…

...is thank you for standing beside us in this fight. I will be in touch as soon as we learn the verdict.

Please keep your fingers crossed!

Yours,

Sean Gifford, Managing Director of The Humane League UK
