Follow Germany's lead and ban needless horrific killing of countless male chicks

Closed 5,156 signatures

What the petition asks

The egg industry (incl. free-range/organic) has a vastly unknown secret: an unimaginable number of male chicks are horrifically killed at hatching (suffocated/ground up alive) on a never-ending conveyor belt of destruction. Germany are banning this and it will only mean max 2 cent more per egg.

Please put pressure on the UK government to follow suit and cease this mindless barbaric practice that has zero regard for other life.
