Conservationist and wildlife campaigner Chris Packham says British supermarkets are ‘selling suffering’ in light of the very worst forms of suffering that chickens on British farms are put through by the meat industry.
The TV personality made the comments as he launched a campaign to push for higher welfare standards for chickens in the UK.

Joining Packham in advocating for the chickens are UK animal protection groups Humane League UK, Open Cages, Animal Equality UK and the RSPCA, all of which are calling on supermarkets to commit to the Better Chicken Commitment (BCC), the ‘leading set of standards for broiler welfare driving the food industry towards higher welfare practices’.
“Every year, millions upon millions of chickens are bred to become oversized Franken Chickens, crammed into bleak, overcrowded sheds, and slaughtered at just a few weeks old,” Packham said.
“As a bird lover, I despair at the thought of these gentle, intelligent, and sensitive animals forced to endure such suffering.
“I think this is the biggest cause of hidden animal suffering in Britain.”
