Meet your chicken meat

category national | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Wednesday March 12, 2008 18:32author by rogy Report this post to the editors

Chicken is one of the most popular meats in Ireland. Consumers tend to know little of how it is produced intensively.


Accoring to Compassion In World Farming, Ireland, "In the Republic of ireland, about 67 million chickens are reared for meat each year. The vast majority of these are reared in indoor intensive systems."

They add: "About 5.9 billion chickens for eating are produced yearly in the EU, including 67 million in the Republic of Ireland. Today's broilers have been bred to grow so quickly that their legs have difficulty supporting the overgrown body. As a result, millions a year suffer from painful leg disorders. The birds' hearts and lungs are also unable to keep pace with the rapid body growth, with some chickens dying of heart failure before reaching their slaughter age of 6 to 7 weeks. Many broilers chickens are kept in severely overcrowded conditions."
