Boycott Tesco starting today, improve the lives of millions of chickens now and in the future
It’s time not only to stop buying cheap chicken because of the appalling cruelty involved, but to boycott Tesco stores completely after the supermarket giant stuck two fingers up this week at animal welfare and farming groups by cutting the retail price of its standard whole chicken to £1.99. This is, of course, because the Chicken Out (see sidebar, left) and other associated campaigns have led to more and more people rejecting cheap chicken in favour of free-range and organic.
The arrogance of Tesco is incredible and we can only hope this latest move to, as the chain would say, ‘give the consumers what they want’ becomes known for what it really is, which is an effort to give Tesco what it wants—which is every penny of your hard-earned cash, and to hell with morality.

It’s one of those odd little quirks of Western society that vegetarianism, once considered kooky by the masses, at some point became cool and trendy and aspirational, while veganism—the eschewing of all animal products not only in food, but clothing and every aspect of a person’s life—was and still is viewed in an incredibly hostile way as being the choice of lunatics. Yet as a vegetarian I have to admit vegans have a more consistent and coherent approach when it comes to addressing issues of animal cruelty.
