ChickenOut

The end

The people in boots have come in and are gathering us up. I’m frightened. I can’t get up on my feet by myself, so I’m picked up by the ankles. It really hurts! I’d be excited to get out of here except I’m far too scared. I don’t know where they’re taking us.

FACT CHECK:
The processes of catching, crating and transport to the slaughterhouse are stressful, potentially painful if the birds are already lame, and too often cause injury or death from injury, suffocation or heat stress. Millions of broilers arriving at EU slaughterhouses every year are already dead as a result of injuries and stress caused by catching and transport. The slaughter process is also a serious welfare problem. Shackling by the legs is known to be painful and distressing for the birds and stunning in a water bath is too often ineffective (the struggling birds may raise their heads and miss the water) resulting in fully-conscious birds having their throats cut.
