@End Male Chick Culling

Subject: Please act on male chick culling Dear [MP NAME], I live in [YOUR TOWN OR AREA], which you represent in Parliament. I am concerned about the routine culling of male chicks in the UK egg industry. Male chicks from egg-laying breeds do not lay eggs and are often killed shortly after hatching. This raises serious welfare and ethical concerns. I do not support the destruction of male embryos before hatching, but I recognise that in-ovo sexing may be a better interim measure than killing newly hatched chicks. I support it as a transitional measure, alongside welfare safeguards and development of higher-welfare alternatives. Please support action to reduce and end the culling of hatched male chicks, including higher-welfare breeding, dual-purpose breeds, rearing male layer chicks, and clear labelling. Please let me know what action you will take. Kind regards, [YOUR NAME] [YOUR POSTCODE]
