Over 95 per cent of UK broiler chickens are factory farmed; they don’t see the light of day until they’re packed into a lorry and sent to slaughter at just six weeks old. Over one billion chickens are killed in the UK every year – that’s 20 million per week.
This intensive method of farming selectively breeds obese babies, causing antibiotic resistance and creates the perfect breeding ground for diseases.
This great A6 leaflet is brilliant for spreading awareness and taking action. It is perfect for outreach events, used on stalls and door dropping.

About Viva!
Viva!’s fight is a fight for life – for animals and ourselves. Through effective campaigning, we take the brutal reality of intensive farming to the people who can effect the most change: consumers. Our wide-ranging campaigns promote veganism as the best way to save animals from suffering, protect the environment, improve health and help those in developing countries.
We have cleared most shelves of so-called ‘exotic meats’; our campaign against factory farming of pigs, turkeys and ducks aw deaths dive; we are closer than ever to a foie-gras free Britain and meat and dairy consumption are down in the UK thanks to Viva! and you. Viva! is a registered charity (1037486).
