              “Farmed chickens die much earlier than the 7-10 years a non-broiler chicken might reach.”
                  “… those on intensive farms are chickens genetically condemned to suffer…”
                      “… but chickens are bred exclusively for meat production…”
                          Is it true that animals are frustrated by their inability to express their natural behaviour in a small space?
                              Is it true that it is better to prefer products from farms that are kinder to animals, people and the planet?
                                  Is it true that the poultry sector is heavily dependent on soya crops for feed production and is therefore a major cause of deforestation?
                                      Is it true that cage rearing is still permitted, despite the fact that the movement restrictions associated with confinement are in blatant conflict with the welfare of these animals?
                                          Is it true that protected farms provide the ideal environment for the spread of infectious diseases on a large scale and act as an ‘epidemiological bridge’ between wildlife and human infections?
                                              Is it true that welfare is strongly influenced by the possibility for animals to have satisfying experiences (such as interacting positively with their peers and expressing their natural behaviour) and not to be conditioned by negative emotional factors such as stress and fear, which are frequent in intensive farming where animals often compete for access to food and have difficulty escaping from aggressive individuals?
