The Humane League's 88% Campaign focuses on improving the lives of the vast majority of farm animals in the U.S. — chickens raised for meat. These animals represent 88% of the farm animals raised and killed for the U.S. food supply annually. That's almost 9 billion chickens a year that live a short, unnatural and often painful life followed by a cruel and terrifying death.

filth
Trapped in Filth

Wingstop sources chicken from industrial farming operations that house hundreds of thousands of birds inside filthy, windowless sheds.
