Change for chickens Now

Did you know that Chickens are the most abused animals in the world and billions of them are suffering daily.

Ever wonder where does your chicken come from?

In factory farms, chickens suffer from:

Fast growth
Painful lameness
Skin lesions
Leg fractures
Breathing difficulties

In India, millions of chickens are suffering in factory farms for food. They live in overcrowded, barren and dirty sheds or cages often with no natural light or fresh air, unable to peck or spread their wings. Unnaturally fast weight gain often causes pain and deformities, makes it difficult for chickens to walk or behave naturally and compromises the animals’ immune systems.
