Company Assessment

PRAISE	CRITICISM	INFORMATION
Red Lea Chickens Pty Ltd
	Factory Farming This company produces factory farmed chicken meat. Broiler chickens can legally be confined at a density that gives each bird less space than an single A4 sheet of paper. Every year in Australia 550 million chickens endure short and unnatural lives inside factory farms. This approach is fundamentally at odds with chicken welfare.
