Closed Ban male chick culling in egg production

Closed on

The UK egg production industry kills millions of male chicks per year by either gassing or maceration.

Several countries, including France and Germany, have either banned the culling of male chicks or are in the process of doing so. We would like the UK Government to join these countries in banning chick culling.
