We need more strength
According to the Global Fast Food Industry Broiler Welfare Report released by the World Association for Animal Protection in early 2019, large fast food chains around the world not only generally lack global broiler welfare policies, but also lack the willingness and behavior to improve the welfare level of broiler chickens.Continue to provide low-benefit chicken to consumers around the world.
There are 40 billion chickens every year around the worldLiving in a farm with extremely poor welfare conditions. The rapid growth cycle and the crowded and dark chicken coops put a huge pressure on them, leading to these poor farm animals Severe health problems occur.and cause persistent pain and injuries.
Catering companies build huge profits on the pain of farm animals, and we hope that companies can change this situation.More consumers are beginning to pay attention to the health of animals and the safety of meat, and the market has also prompted companies to make corresponding adjustments to cater to demand.We look forward to other catering companies around the world to pay attention to the survival needs of farm animals and join the ranks of high welfare breeding as soon as possible.
