Co-op prioritises corporate greed over animal welfare, says Chris Packham The broadcaster joined demonstrators outside the supermarket’s AGM in Manchester who are calling on the chain to ditch fast-growing ‘Frankenchickens’.

90% of Co-op members voted to end the sale of suffering #Frankenchickens - a clear call for much-needed change.

We urge the Co-op to honour its members' voices and lead the way in ethical food standards.

Q: Who'd make a promise to do better for animals, and then betray their promise?

A: KFC, apparently, for abandoning its commitment to stop using #Frankenchickens by 2026, leaving millions of caged chickens in #KentuckyFriedCruelty.

KFC must end its use of fast-growing chickens.

Why 597 million chickens go missing from America’s food supply each year Chicken giants are pushing birds to their biological limits. A staggering number die but never make it to consumers’ plates.

KFC drops pledge to stop using ‘Frankenchickens’ in the UK Chain says it won’t be able to stop buying fast-growing breeds by 2026 because poultry industry cannot supply enough higher-welfare animals

AnimalAg continues to genetically breed #Frankenchickens, chickens bred to grow so fast, they can barely support their own weight, often suffering from "higher mortality rates, lameness and muscle disease".

Lets keep pushing for more #plantbased options.
