With the release of its second annual European ChickenTrack Report, Compassion in World Farming (CIWF) lists which European poultry producers the organization believes are improving in animal welfare and which are allegedly falling behind.
“It is encouraging to see an increase in companies working to deliver on their commitments and reporting on their transition progress. Company sign-ups to the [Better Chicken Commitment] BCC are an essential first step to improving the lives of millions of chickens raised for meat,” said Dr. Tracey Jones, global director for food business, CIWF. “However, only when the full package of changes is made will chickens start to feel the benefits and the company can say its products are higher welfare.”
