Upright chicken catching project on German and French TV

October 13, 2022

ZDF and Arte recently televised EonA’s project to reduce stress, pain and injuries by catching hens upright instead of upside down by one leg. It was aired on both German and French TV. The camera team joined us at Kipster poultry farm on the evening of the catch, where the hens had to be loaded for transport. We gave a short presentation to the catching team and supervised the process from beginning to end.

Kipster was one of the first Dutch poultry companies that made the switch to the gentler, upright catching method. We are very pleased our  Dutch project is crossing borders and hope that soon German and French poultry farmers and catching teams become interested too.

Watch the broadcast on German TV here (starting at 27:00) >>

I first discovered the bad side of factory-farming and industrial slaughter when I was a young girl of twelve.
When I visited a livestock market I saw a pile of sick animals left for dead behind the building. At a huge industrial poultry slaughterhouse, I saw dozens of live chickens walking around the bloody floor…

Dierenrechtenorganisatie @l214 onthult: nog altijd ernstige mishandeling van piepjonge Ierse kalfjes tijdens dagenlang transport naar Nederland. NL kalverbedrijven weten dit, maar blijven ze importeren. @ministerlnv, @_NVWA, maak NU een einde aan dit leed! https://vimeo.com/810887324/cf1fc3ab84
