Closed petition Ban putting live chicks into mascerating machines in the uk poultry industry.

Closed on

Unwanted Male chicks from the egg industry are gassed or macerated, maceration is carried out while the chicks are alive.

This petition is for the advocation of gassing over maceration and to hopefully ban maceration altogether.

Both methods are legal and approved by the RSPCA and the humane society.
