Chickens

The truth about a chicken’s life

Turbo growth causes breathing distress and pain

Turbo chicken refers to the most common industrial chicken breed, bred to grow extremely fast—from 45 g to over 2 kg in about 35 days. No chicken can grow this fast without severe consequences.

This unnatural turbo growth causes serious health issues: breathing distress, organ failure, paralysis, and difficulty walking.

Three out of four chickens suffer from varying degrees of lameness because their legs can’t support their massive bodies. In some cases, this leads to slow starvation as the legs give out completely. The turbo growth strains internal organs, putting chickens at risk of dying from heart failure.

Minimal space causes stress

Danish slaughter chickens live in extremely cramped conditions, with up to 40,000 animals in a single hall. Near slaughter time, there may be up to 20 chickens in just 1 square meter.

Imagine a small bedroom of 10 square meters packed with 200 chickens.

Save animals by choosing plant-based

The fates of animals are closely linked to the dietary choices we make. When we consider the suffering endured by turbo-growth industrial chickens, it's crucial to remember that we hold the power to effect positive change. By embracing a plant-based lifestyle, we can help save countless animals from similar fates.

A plant-based diet and vegan lifestyle means avoiding animal products like meat, milk, and eggs. Choosing this lifestyle reduces demand for industrially farmed animals, including the poor chickens suffering from turbo growth.

A plant-based diet is not only better for animals, it also benefits the environment and our health. It reduces water use, cuts air pollution, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions, helping combat climate change. It also offers health benefits, like lowering risks of heart disease and diabetes.

By taking this simple step to choose a plant-based lifestyle, we all play an active role in protecting animal life and promoting better lives for animals. It’s a way to show compassion for all creatures on our planet and help create a more just world for animals. Let’s work together for a future where animals no longer suffer needless pain and humiliation because of our choices.

Switch to a plant-based diet today and be part of the solution for animals and our planet.
