Dutch court rules: catching birds by their legs is illegal and authorities must take enforcement action

November 24, 2022

The case was filed by the organization Wakker Dier. Until now the NVWA has only given warnings to catching companies that catch and load chickens by their legs. The judge has decided that this does not suffice. The … [Read more...] about Dutch court rules: catching birds by their legs is illegal and authorities must take enforcement action

More and more chicken-catching companies, encouraged by the Dutch Chicken Catching Organization, refuse to catch birds upright

November 7, 2022

For more than six years we have had a positive time training chicken-catching companies on the gentle upright method of catching poultry and, together with several egg and poultry producers, have been catching the birds upright instead of inverted by the legs. Gentle upright catching was not something that could be put into place at all poultry farms in the Netherlands, as … [Read more...] about More and more chicken-catching companies, encouraged by the Dutch Chicken Catching Organization, refuse to catch birds upright

Presentation to DEFRA’s expert-committee on the catching, loading and transportation of poultry

November 4, 2022

This morning we gave a presentation to the UK government agency DEFRA and their committee of experts AWC (Animal Welfare Committee). We shared our knowledge, experiences and advice on 'upright' catching, as well as showing them the conventional methods of catching, loading and transporting.
