Every year, 45 million day old male chicks are culled in the UK. We call this Hatch & Dispatch. New technology means this practice is now unnecessary and wasteful. Sign the petition and tell the government to end Hatch & Dispatch
The Vegetarian Society is the UK’s original and leading voice for the vegetarian and vegan movement.
We are driven by our convictions and hungry for change, steadfast in our commitment to a better future. We know small actions can make a huge difference and we empower everyone to make changes where they can.
Did you know…
Eating a veggie diet means 2.5 x less carbon emissions than a meat diet.
A chicken breast takes over 735 litres of water to produce, that could fill up your bathtub 4.6 times.
Eating vegetarian for a year saves emissions equivalent to taking a small car off the road for 6 months.
