A 2016 Compassion Over Killing investigation of Tyson Foods exposed cruel practice of using “nose bones” – a dull plastic rod stabbed through the nostrils of young male breeder birds to restrict food intake. In response, Tyson announced it was immediately ending the practice. 

In the chicken industry, birds are bred to grow so unnaturally large, so quickly that their legs often collapse under the weight of their own morbidly obese bodies. The hearts and lungs of these genetically manipulated “frankenbirds” aren’t strong enough to sustain this growth for much longer than the average slaughter age of 45 days. So the feed intake of male birds kept as “breeders” is restricted through the use of “nose bones” in order to keep these rapidly growing birds alive long enough to reproduce.

But since COK’s investigation, 17 of the top 20 poultry companies have confirmed that they have ended or are not using the cruel devices--and we’re now working, with your support, to encourage the voice of the industry, the National Chicken Council, to catch up by issuing an official policy against these archaic devices in its welfare guidelines.

You can help stop this cruelty! Join our network of activists to become part of a movement and get empowered to create meaningful change on behalf of animals! We’ll send you emails biweekly with actions you can take online and in your community, and you’ll unlock exclusive resources and support to level up your activism. With the help of compassionate volunteers like you, we’re taking ag industry giants like Cooke Aquaculture and Tyson Foods to task for horrific abuses exposed by our undercover investigators and putting compassionate vegan options on the menu at massive chains like Subway and Dunkin’. 

Together, we can create a more compassionate world for all animals! Get started today with a quick & easy online form!
