Do you dare enter the Lidl Shop of Horrors?

Lidl’s welfare standards for the chickens in its supply chain are nothing short of monstrous. Find out more.

Big on Cruelty. Lidl on Kindness.

Lidl's chicken welfare is monstrous. It has ignored calls to stop using fast-growing Frankenchickens, with suffering coded into their DNA. These chickens grow too big, too fast, and often cannot support their own weight. Left to sit in their own waste, their lives are full of suffering. Lidl’s refusal to move away from these cruel practices is disturbing.

But there is hope for chickens.

Together, we have the power to drive change. Shoppers can demand Lidl end this nightmare and stop selling Frankenchickens.
