Chicken Welfare (EDM954)

Chicken Welfare

EDM number 954 in 2007-08, proposed by Rudi Vis on 19/02/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Agriculture, Animal welfare, Animals, Food and Service industries.

That this House welcomes Jamie Oliver's exposÃ© on Channel 4 of the gassing of unwanted male chicks with carbon dioxide, which induces gasping for breath; understands that this practice is common across battery, barn and free range egg systems; seeks the abolition of this practice as a matter of humanity; further deplores Tesco's decision to offer Â£1.99 chickens, coming soon after Sainsbury's and the Co-op have promised to raise their minimum chicken welfare standards; and congratulates Marks and Spencer on its market-leading standards for farm animal welfare, recognised by Compassion in World Farming.

This motion has been signed by a total of 39 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
