Did you see me on @BBCNews this morning holding supermarkets to account for selling #Frankenchickens?
Sharing @OpenCagesUK's footage I explained how chickens raised for retailers like @coopuk are bred to grow so fast they can die of heart attack. 😰

A huge congratulations to our #FurFreeAlliance coalition partner, @Anima_Int for 26 years of campaigning to end mink farming! Last Friday, the Danish government confirmed it will not seek an exemption from the EU prohibition on keeping and breeding mink. ⬇️

Norway is leading the world in trying to phase out fast-growing chickens — but are other countries willing to swap cheap chicken for better animal welfare? ft.trib.al/a88RyJf

Article titled: ‘Giant ‘Frankenchicken’ Crashes Opening Day of new Pret Cafe’.
“The public are shocked when they find out the truth about Pret,” said @CMJackson_ ceo of Anima. “Every single bird they sell is a frankenchicken -bred to grow so fast that they suffer immensely. Customers expect far better, and most can’t believe the promise to stop selling these birds was made eight years ago. Pret can’t keep ignoring tens of thousands of people who’ve pledged to take a break and the public figures standing with them “

From yesterday outside @Pret in London– no more words, we want action! Get frankenchickens out of your supply chain. breakfrompret.com @anima_uk

🚨 We've launched a £1M campaign about @Pret's broken promise - covered in @thetimes this morning.
In 2018, Pret promised to stop using Frankenchickens by 2026.
8 years on: zero progress.

In the @TimesRadio studio this morning announcing @anima_uk's £1m campaign holding @Pret to account for its broken promise to chickens.

We did everything we could to avoid going public. For two years we maintained a regular dialogue with Pret, asking the company to make demonstrable progress towards honouring its commitment. But it refused to take any steps at all, and instead kicked the can down the road.

Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates.
Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023.
Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state.
The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices.
Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at senate.gov and house.gov — it takes two minutes and it matters.

✨ Today, Open Cages becomes Anima ✨
Our new name reflects our place in Anima International, a global movement to end animal suffering. This year, we’re scaling up for a major UK campaign to end the use of fast-growing “frankenchickens” 👀💪
Good to see various climate campaigners calling out the recent "greenwashing" from @KFC_UKI, @NandosUK, @wagamama_uk & more. No reasonable person would put "let's make animals grow so fast they can't walk" on their list of ways to reduce emissions.

@DaleVince – "Factory farmed chickens live and die in brutal conditions...Genetically modified - ‘frankenchickens’ are designed to grow so unnaturally fast their own legs can't support them and they’re prone to muscle disease - tasty that."
If companies are really motivated to make the world a better place, they could simply buy slower growing chickens whilst making improvements elsewhere. This is about sticking with the status quo, because it's convenient and lucrative. columbusglobal.com/insights/…
