Victory! Plans for Monstrous Chicken Farm Near York Are Rejected
Fantastic news for chickens! Plans for an intensive chicken farm in Rufforth, near York, have been rejected by City of York Council after almost 20,000 PETA supporters signed a petition opposing the facility.
If the proposal had been approved, up to 144,000 chickens at a time would have been crammed into three severely crowded, dark sheds. They’d have been subjected to extreme suffering – treated like meat machines rather than living, feeling beings – before facing a terrifying death at the abattoir.
This is the second time that we’ve helped defeat a planning application for this horrific facility. Thank you to everyone who took action and signed our petition.
