Culling male chicks is a common practice in the egg industry. As male chicks cannot lay eggs, they are often considered a 'waste product'. We welcome steps to end this cruel practice.

Around 90% of pigs sent for slaughter in the UK are currently killed using CO2. This involves lowering pigs into a CO2 chamber, where they panic, fight for breath, and eventually suffocate.
Steps to end this cruel method are long overdue.
