Horrific new footage reveals harrowing conditions at farms that supply Nando's
News
We’ve captured some undercover footage showing the horror that chickens endure on farms in Nando's supply chain
Content Note: footage contains very upsetting images of animal suffering.
Footage from World Animal Protection
This undercover footage reinforces our The Real Cheeky Nando’s Campaign and includes chickens which:
- Have legs splayed beneath their bodies, a typical sign of skeletal and joint disorders known as dyschondroplasia
- Have ‘kinky back’, or spondylolisthesis, in which the backbone is severely damaged, pinching at the spinal cord which causes paralysis
- Are thrown into buckets after being killed because they are too sick, or growing too slowly
- Are kept in cramped conditions with little space to move, preventing them from behaving naturally
The film showcases the harrowing conditions that fast-growing chickens endure.
16/12/2020 Update:
In 2019 we ran our #TheRealCheekyNandos petition demanding Nando’s commit to improve welfare on farms supplying their restaurants. Tens of thousands of supporters signed our petition.
In 2020, Nando's made a commitment to higher chicken welfare.
