It’s time to sign the Better Chicken Commitment
Tell Nando’s that you want higher animal welfare standards
In Australia, chickens are selectively bred to grow too big and fast for their own bodies to handle. This means they often suffer chronic pain and health issues. They don’t get enough space, light, or clean air. And they are killed using outdated, inhumane methods.
That’s not good enough. It’s time for Aussie chickens to get a better life.
The Better Chicken Commitment targets these welfare issues, calling for a switch to:
Higher welfare, slower growing chicken breeds
Comfortable, healthy living conditions, where each chicken has enough space, light and clean air
Slaughter methods that are more humane, with effective stunning and no live shackling
While Nando’s UK & Ireland have signed the Better Chicken Commitment, here in Australia we’re still waiting for a commitment to higher welfare.

How do we raise the bar for chicken welfare?
Change happens when everyday people stand up and demand it.
If you eat chicken, or spend your hard-earned money in shops or restaurants that sell chicken, you can be a powerful voice for change in the chicken industry.
That’s why we need you to tell food businesses to sign the Better Chicken Commitment.
Most Australians don’t have the option of choosing higher welfare chicken products from slower growing breeds – because shops and restaurants aren’t providing them. In fact, right now they’re almost impossible to find in Australia. There are a few small farms that specialise in rearing these higher welfare chickens, but you can’t buy them at regular supermarkets.
But if voting with your wallet isn’t really an option yet, how can you tell food businesses what you want them to change?
That’s what this whole campaign is about.
