Broiler chickens are among the most abused animals on the planet. They are certainly among those suffering in the greatest numbers, making up 95 percent of the land animals killed for food across the globe each year.

What are broiler chickens?

In industry terminology, chickens raised specifically for meat are called “broiler chickens” or “broilers.” These chickens are selectively bred for rapid growth so that they become unnaturally large very quickly. Selective breeding is when certain animals are bred in order to produce offspring with desired traits—in the case of broiler chickens, the industry’s goal is to raise birds that will produce more meat. Today, a broiler chicken reaches what the industry considers market weight at around only 47 days old and accordingly sent to slaughter. The National Chicken Council reports that in 1925, chickens reached a market weight of 1,1 kg in 112 days—and today, the market weight reached in just 47 days is kg.

What are the problems with broiler chickens?

Confined in filthy sheds and living in their own waste, sometimes unable to stand or walk due to leg deformities from rapid growth, broiler chickens live amid a high concentration of ammonia, which can burn their skin. The bodies of broiler chickens often cannot support their rapid growth, sometimes leading to heart failure. The Poultry Site writes from the industry viewpoint: “economic losses associated with heart failure problems in broiler chickens amount to more than R18.091 annually.”

When broiler birds reach market weight, they are rounded up and crowded into crates that are loaded onto transport trucks headed for the slaughterhouse. The catching of the chickens can be a violent process, as the birds can become frantic and workers quickly grab the chickens by their legs. Investigations, have revealed that the birds are sometimes forcefully thrown or shoved into the crates.
