Protest at Bristol Morrisons in 'Frankenchicken' backlash

Campaigners from animal rights charity Open Cages protested at the Morrisons store in Fishponds to try to get the chain to stop the sale of fast-growing 'Frankenchickens'.

Hundreds of customers were shown images said to be from the retailer's chicken supplier farms, with an advertising truck accusing the supermarket of deceiving the public with its Make Good Things Happen marketing campaign. The Bristol branch was among five South West stores targeted by protesters this weekend, and a total of 121 customers took part in their survey in total.

The group says everyone who filled in the survey at the Fishponds store agreed that Morrisons should stop selling the chicken. Open Cages activists also stormed the Fishponds store last April, alleging that 30 per cent of chickens in Morrisons' supply chain can barely walk due to deformities.
