TV presenter Chris Packham has urged the Co-op to stop the sale of so-called “Frankenchickens” as he blamed the “greed of the corporate world” for prioritising profit over animal welfare.
The broadcaster and naturalist joined demonstrators outside the supermarket’s AGM in Manchester. They are calling on the chain to ditch fast-growing chickens raised for meat, known as “Frankenchickens”, from its supply chain.
