“Pret A Manger also promised to make the change by 2026 yet continues to sell frankenchickens in all their chicken products.”
Thank you, Irene Campbell MP (@lucydahlia). Denmark is moving to ban them. @Pret hasn’t switched a single bird.

Yesterday, 7 Danish parties backed a ban on frankenchickens (aka turbo chickens).
Today, the animal welfare minister said he’ll work towards a ban, and 9 parties now back it, incl. all 4 in government.
Is Denmark about to become the first country in the world to outlaw them? 🐔

Seven Danish parties, from far left to free-market right, now back a ban on fast-growing “turbo chickens.” That’s 88 of 179 seats, just short of a majority.
This means that Denmark could become the first country to ban turbo chickens by law, affecting around 120 million animals every year. 🐔

A huge congratulations to our #FurFreeAlliance coalition partner, @Anima_Int for 26 years of campaigning to end mink farming! Last Friday, the Danish government confirmed it will not seek an exemption from the EU prohibition on keeping and breeding mink. ⬇️

🚨 VICTORY: Mink farming is ending in Denmark! 🇩🇰
Denmark was once the world’s top mink fur producer. Today, its government confirmed the EU ban on mink farming will apply in full.
We’ve fought for this for 26 years. Poland banned all fur farming last year. EU, you’re next 🩵

Why should Christians care about Pret’s delayed chicken welfare commitment?
Our new article asks what fast-growing chickens reveal about flesh, creaturely flourishing and the Christian conscience.

Today we joined some of the leading animal welfare organisations and hundreds of campaigners in carrying a very, very long petition through Central London, calling for an end to frankenchickens.
Companies like Pret are profiting from cruelty. We say enough.
Good morning @Pret. Seen the papers?
9 animal protection organisations, one open letter: Pret needs a real plan to end frankenchickens, with steps starting next year.
Today we carry 100,000 names to Pret HQ. Join us 👉 march.breakfrompret.com #endfrankenchicken #BreakFromPret

Me for @EuropeanMag: why I’m calling for fast-growing ‘frankenchickens’ to be removed from public procurement , and why 80,000 of us have pledged to boycott @Pret until it delivers on its chicken welfare commitment .

📨 We've written to the UK Government.
Alongside fellow animal welfare organisations, we're urging @DefraGovUK to deliver a truly cage-free future for mother pigs, not replace one crate with another.

ALT We're calling on the UK Government to End the Cage Age for mother pigs.
Not the opening-day headline @pret was hoping for 🐔
Every chicken in Pret's products is a frankenchicken, bred to grow so fast that many can't even stand up by the end of their short lives 💔
Tens of thousands have pledged to take a break: breakfrompret.com
Exclusive in @Independent: @Pret has ignored 2,200+ comments on its social media about its broken chicken welfare promise.
It answers customer complaints all day, but ask about chickens and you get silence.
Almost 75,000 have pledged to take a break. breakfrompret.com

Chris Packham has joined animal welfare campaigners in criticising Pret A Manger after the chain delayed its 2018 pledge to stop using fast-growing chickens from 2026 to 2032.
Packham says he will not return to Pret until the company produces a credible plan to meet its promise.
ALT Chris Packham talking to the public during the protest outside Pret A Manger. Animal rights campaigners from Anima stage a protest outside a Pret A Manger branch in Waterloo, accusing the company of failing to meet a 2018 commitment to stop using fast-growing “Frankenchicken” breeds in its supply chain by 2026. Activists display a giant animatronic “Frankenwrap” sculpture featuring a moving eye and mouth to draw attention to welfare concerns associated with selectively bred chickens that grow rapidly and can suffer from lameness, broken bones and heart problems. The demonstration calls on Pret A Manger to fulfil its animal welfare pledge, while campaigners encourage customers to support a boycott campaign until changes are implemented.

From yesterday outside @Pret in London– no more words, we want action! Get frankenchickens out of your supply chain. breakfrompret.com @anima_uk

Campaigning to urge @Pret to stop using fast growing "FrankenChickens" as they had promised to do.
Using "FrankenChickens" is very cruel & causes great suffering to chickens.
Take a break from @Pret until they take chicken welfare seriously.
