John,

"Frankenchickens" – bred to grow unnaturally fast, their bodies buckling under their abnormal weight. Crippled, struggling to breathe, they drag themselves across barn floors, hearts frantically racing to keep up with overgrown organs. This is the cost of corporate greed: lives filled with pain, disease, and suffering.

This cruelty isn’t just heartbreaking—it’s unnecessary. The Better Chicken Commitment (BCC) was created to introduce basic welfare standards, like healthier breeds, more space, and humane slaughter. Over 200 major food companies pledged to do better. Yet giants like Whole Foods, Chipotle, Starbucks, and Subway are still sourcing from factory farms that abuse these animals.

We have the power to change this. As a movement of millions, we can create a massive global outcry and demand better animal welfare standards in supply chains. Companies like Whole Foods already parade themselves as green grocers – so let’s hold them by their words. Are you in?

Whole Foods, Chipotle, Starbucks, and Subway: Stop sourcing Frankenchicken – employ the Better Chicken Commitment (BCC).

Frankenchickens are as scary as their nickname suggests. As they grow unnaturally large and abnormally fast to produce as much meat as possible, their meat is often visibly diseased and a health hazard to consumers.

There is no good argument for this type of animal abuse asides profit maximisation for corporations – because, these fast-growing breeds reach market weight in just over a month, allowing companies to reduce feeding and housing costs, thereby increasing their profit margins.

Over 200 companies have pledged to adopt the Better Chicken Commitment (BCC) to protect chicken welfare, but many are yet to follow through and act on their promises. It’s time we hold them accountable – NOW:
