Go to the chicken section in a supermarket in the UK, and chances are there’s a cruel secret lurking on the shelves.
[DOES MY SUPERMARKET SELL FRANKENCHICKENS?]
Despite the labels advertising their ‘high’ welfare standards, the truth is that supermarkets are hiding cruelty in plain sight. Did you know that around 9 in 10 chickens raised in the UK are actually Frankenchickens? These sensitive, intelligent animals have been cruelly bred with suffering coded into their DNA, all for industry profit.
(You’d be forgiven for not knowing, the way these supermarkets obscure the cruel reality to make you think their chickens lived good lives.)
The good news? We can change this unfair situation. Pressure from animal lovers like you has already spared millions of animals from cruelty: hundreds of companies have committed to ending their use of Frankenchickens in the UK. The secret is unravelling. Now it’s time for supermarkets to stop the cruelty.

For the animals,
