You're one of the rare people who have spoken up for frankenchickens before, and I need your help again, because you refuse to look away when animals suffer. 

PLEDGE TO TAKE A BREAK FROM PRET

Today, the biggest animal welfare campaign ever to target a single UK company has launched against Pret. The story broke in The Times. Protests have already reached Pret's doors.

Why? Because in 2018, they promised to stop using frankenchickens. Eight years later, 100% of their chicken is STILL frankenchicken. Not a single bird switched.

Even worse, Pret sells itself as "ethical". They've built their brand (and their prices) on "Doing the Right Thing”... on being one of the good ones.

You know what frankenchicken really means. Birds bred to grow so fast that many live in horrific suffering. Legs buckling. Hearts giving out. Forty-day lives defined by pain.

That's what Pret promised to end. That's the promise they broke.

ADD MY NAME TO THE PLEDGE https://tinyurl.com/takeabreakfrompret 

This isn't about never going back. It's a pause. Reduce your visits until Pret delivers on its promise.

Pret can shrug off a press release. It cannot shrug off hundreds of thousands of customers walking past its doors. You spoke up before. These chickens need you again. Be their voice today.

Yes, I'll add my name 

This is our chance to create real change. Millions of birds are counting on it.

Connor Jackson, CEO and co-founder at Anima, on behalf of Chris Packham
