planet e.: Das Hühner-Dilemma

Zwischen Tierwohl und Preisschlacht

The life of a broiler chicken is worth 10 cents: shockingly little. That's why many chicken farmers have to grow more and more chicks in their barns - to secure their income. But what are the consequences? In Germany alone, around 620 million broiler chickens are produced each year. Consumers here prefer chicken breasts. The chicken remains are exported. And they destroy local producer markets and farmers' livelihoods, for example in South Africa.

This film is shown in double feature 1.
