Take action for chickens
Take action
for chickens
In Australia, the meat industry breeds chickens who grow too big and fast for their bodies to cope.
This means they often suffer chronic pain and health issues. They don’t get enough space, light, or clean air. And they are killed using outdated, inhumane methods.
That’s not good enough. It’s time for Aussie chickens to get a better life.
You can help improve chicken welfare in Australia.
Take action by contacting food businesses and asking them to adopt higher welfare standards through the Better Chicken Commitment.

Write to a restaurant
Despite a track record of menu innovations for sustainability and animal welfare, Grill’d still uses the same inhumane, fast-growing chicken breeds as the rest of the industry.
Nando’s claims they want to be animal welfare leaders, but refuse to commit to switching to higher welfare chicken breeds.
We’re also supporting our friends across the ditch at Animals Aotearoa, who are also campaigning for Nando’s to adopt the Better Chicken Commitment.
Australia’s largest convenience store chain has big shoes to fill. 7-Eleven in Denmark and Norway has signed the Better Chicken Commitment.
Tell 7-Eleven that Aussies want them to lead on animal welfare here, too.

Tell supermarkets & restaurants to
commit to higher chicken welfare
As Australians grow more aware and concerned about where our food comes from, we’re looking to restaurants and shops to meet our expectations for animal welfare, sustainability, and food quality.
The Better Chicken Commitment targets these welfare issues, calling for a switch to:
Higher welfare, slower growing chicken breeds
Comfortable, healthy living conditions, where each chicken has enough space, light and clean air
Slaughter methods that are more humane, with effective stunning and no live shackling

Change happens when everyday people stand up and demand it.
If you eat chicken, or spend your hard-earned money in shops or restaurants that sell chicken, you can be a powerful voice for change.
That’s why we need you to tell food businesses to sign the Better Chicken Commitment.
Join us to improve the lives of over 750,000 Aussie chickens every year.
We’re part of a global movement
Hundreds of companies across North America and Europe have signed the Better Chicken Commitment.
But in Australia, not much has changed for chickens in over a decade.

Your voice is powerful
We’ve already seen consumer pressure for better chicken welfare standards work – with eggs.
Public campaigns pushed supermarkets and restaurants to switch to cage-free eggs. Today, over 80% of Australia’s eggs are cage-free.
Soon all laying hens will be free from cages, as all state and territory governments have committed to a phase out by 2036.
This only happened because people like you took action and demanded change!
Together, we can win the same progress for chickens raised for meat.
