chickens

The 'free range' label is meaningless. Most chickens do not go outside, many are sick, and many cannot even walk because they are bred for large breasts that make them unable to support themselves. 'Free range' labels only exist to calm consumer concerns. Factory farming is unhealthy and cruel.

Kit Knightly Since the “bird flu outbreak” first hit the headlines OffG has been predicting how the inevitable agenda would unfold. The first impact was as obvious as it was predictable – the price of chicken and eggs went up, this was just another front in the war on food. The second planned impact was …

The Ice Age Farmer channel is reporting anecdotal claims of localised chicken culls in the UK, focused on small or medium producers, allegedly in response to Bird Flu, but perceived by him as a directed move against independent sources of food. Can anyone in the UK shed further light on this? Please let us know …

By Martha Rosenberg There’s a lot the industrial factory farm industry prefers to keep consumers in the dark about, including what happens when millions of confined, stressed out animals with weakened immune systems are exposed ...

Eggs contaminated with a potentially harmful insecticide were imported from Europe and have been distributed throughout the United Kingdom and other countries, according to England’s Food Standards Agency (FSA). [1]
The number of eggs containing the insecticide fipronil, used in flea and tick products, is thought to be very small, thank goodness, but grocers in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, and Switzerland have had to pull millions of eggs from store shelves as a precaution.
It is believed that fipronil was used on chickens in Belgium.

A whistleblower who once worked for the 2nd largest chicken producer in the U.S. has come forward to tell the world about the birds’ horrible living conditions. He also sheds light on the reason why the overwhelming majority of US chicken producers wash the poultry in chlorine before putting it on the market.
Yes, chlorine. You know, like swimming pools.

In another victorious move for the public, KFC has announced that it will stop using chickens that were given antibiotics in the U.S. by the end of 2018. [1]
The fried chicken fast-food establishment, which boasts 4,200 restaurants across the country, says it will nix antibiotics from both its boneless and on-the-bone chicken. KFC joins a growing list of fast-food companies that have made food supply changes in response to consumer concerns about health.
KFC said in a statement:

Rather than turning to toxic chemicals to rid farm fields of destructive insects and noxious weeds, some farmers in Missouri are recruiting chickens and bugs to do the job for them.
The 40 acres of land purchased by Gary Wenig and his wife to grow organic crops were initially overrun by weeds and insects. In order to grow truly organic plants, the couple had to eschew products like Roundup and atrazine. Synthetic pesticides are permitted for organic growing, but they’re expensive and can still be toxic.

Tyson foods supplies some of the biggest names with chicken – from McDonald’s to KFC, and more – but their industrial agricultural practices are menacing at best and cruelly disgusting at their worst. This is why countless individuals across the country, including celebrities such as Candice Bergen, are telling companies like Tyson to stop the animal cruelty.

A major chicken supplier for both McDonald’s and Tyson Foods has been caught deeply abusing chickens in some of the most graphic and disturbing ways possible. As documented by an undercover video investigation (see below for the video), factory farm workers can allegedly be seen beating the chickens with spikes, breaking their necks by stomping on their heads, and much more.
It’s absolute detestable, and I’m most certainly not lovin’ it.
