Did you see me on @BBCNews this morning holding supermarkets to account for selling #Frankenchickens? Sharing @OpenCagesUK's footage I explained how chickens raised for retailers like @coopuk are bred to grow so fast they can die of heart attack. 😰

❗Giant chicken Frankenwrap™ spotted in central London!❗ The biggest animal welfare campaign ever to target a single UK company has launched against @Pret. The story broke in @thetimes. Protests have already reached Pret's doors. Pledge to take a break from Pret, link in bio.

🚨 We've launched a £1M campaign about @Pret's broken promise - covered in @thetimes this morning. In 2018, Pret promised to stop using Frankenchickens by 2026. 8 years on: zero progress. thetimes.com/uk/environment/…

Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates. Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023. Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state. The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices. Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at senate.gov and house.gov — it takes two minutes and it matters.

✨ Today, Open Cages becomes Anima ✨ Our new name reflects our place in Anima International, a global movement to end animal suffering. This year, we’re scaling up for a major UK campaign to end the use of fast-growing “frankenchickens” 👀💪

@KFC_UKI @NandosUK and more have turned their backs on chickens. ⚠️ "This is about money and nothing else." says our CEO in the press. "Any other explanation is BS." 👇 nation.cymru/news/animal-wel…

"The poultry sector’s decision follows years of public debate over the welfare impacts of intensive chicken production." @poultrynews poultrynews.co.uk/production…

"What’s happening in Norway is a historic moment" comments our CEO @CMJackson_. "It shows that the transition away from fast-growing chickens is possible. UK retailers and brands like @KFC_UKI, @GreggsOfficial and @Pret need to step up and solve this."newfoodmagazine.com/news/262…

Incredible. Fast-growing chickens represent one of the most cruel farming practices in existence. @waitrose has taken a stand against it. Now an entire country. Nothing's stopping other major UK companies from getting together with industry and solving this problem.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The deadline has been extended until Monday 15 December (midnight Brussels time) – we have 3 more days to speak up against animal suffering.
