September Is “National Chicken Month”
In an attempt to boost post-summer lagging sales, the chicken industry has declared September to be “National Chicken Month.” This makes September a good time to remember that billions of chickens are raised and killed for human consumption each year in the U.S., many of whom suffer from crippling leg disorders due to intensive genetic selection for extremely rapid growth rates.
COK sees “National Chicken Month” as a great opportunity to shed light on the industry’s cruel, yet standard, practices and to encourage people to choose compassion by leaving chickens off our plates.
