Animal welfare charity takes Government to court over Frankenchickens
Briefly

An animal welfare charity has taken the Government to court in an effort to end the practice of breeding Frankenchickens.Up to 90% of chickens sold in the UK are reared through intensive selective breeding to favour faster-growing poultry that can be brought to market sooner.Over one billion chickens a year are bred and slaughtered in this way and they can reach a weight of 2.2kg in 35 days 12 weeks faster than 50 years ago while many are kept in unsanitary conditions.
