It’s hard not to fall into the trap. Five activists, are dressed as Burger King team members and distribute boxes of burgers. As it is lunchtime, passersby are therefore persuaded that they are being offered a free sandwich. But when they open the box, it’s empty. But there is a message that denounces the conditions of raising and slaughtering chickens where the sign is supplied.
This is the first time this chicken has taken the air, too bad it had to wait to be a burger for that” is what is written in the boxes
“Burger King is one of the last brands not to commit” explains Cécile Potocki, one of the volunteers of the association for the defense of the animal cause: ” We ask the sign to respect the criteria of the EEuropean Chicken Commitment as we have already done KFC, Subway, Domino’s Pizza or even Paul.” It is a European request drawn up and supported by around thirty associations. These criteria concern both the rearing conditions and the slaughter conditions for the chickens.
