Chris Packham has backed our new Rethink British Chicken campaign, which will mobilise millions of shoppers to fight back against the damaging chicken industry:
“UK farmers need support but sticking a Union Jack on a Frankenchicken makes it a symbol of national shame rather than pride[…] Supermarkets have superpowers. They can decide to be the change which benefits animals, farmers and shoppers.”
Can you help us reach 5,000 pledges today?
It’s great to have Chris backing us. Will you too? We need to give this campaign the strongest start we can. Right now, our priority is to get 5,000 people like you backing Rethink British Chicken.
Rethink British Chicken is a campaign designed to reach tens of millions of people across the UK and expose the damage being done to animals, our countryside, and our local communities by industrial chicken farming. It will meet people where they’re at, show them the truth, and invite them to question for themselves: is it time to rethink this cruel and destructive industry?
If you agree that there is no place in Britain for Frankenchickens stuffed into mega-sheds which pollute our countryside and damage our local communities, then I’d like you to pledge your support for the fightback.
This is just the start. Very soon I will be able to share something big with you that we’ve been working on over the last few months. Keep your eyes peeled!
For the animals,
Cordelia Britton, Head of Programmes at The Humane League UK
