Yesterday in the North Carolina Court of Appeals in Raleigh, three amicus briefs were offered in support of Legal Impact for Chickens’ lawsuit against KFC-supplier Case Farms for cruelty toward newborn chicks.

 

These amicus briefs were submitted by farming groups, nonprofits, and veterinarians–including the Northeast Organic Dairy Producers Alliance and Asheville-based Dr. Laura Cochrane, DVM–and written by attorneys including former North Carolina Appellate Judge Lucy Inman. 

 

“Defendants’ alleged conduct is not only unethical, but completely contrary to the

professional standards of modern poultry farming,” say Food Animal Concerns TrustNortheast Organic Dairy Producers Alliance, and The Cornucopia Institute in their brief, written by former North Carolina Appellate Judge Lucy Inman. 

 

Beautiful Together Animal Sanctuary’s brief states, “Legal Impact for Chicken’s complaint alleges shocking atrocities that, if committed against a dog or cat, would merit universal condemnation.” 

 

“North Carolina takes animal cruelty seriously,” states brief by veterinarians Dr. Laura Cochrane and Dr. Martha Smith-Blackmore, and DEGA Mobile Veterinary Care, a nonprofit that helps North Carolina pets with low- or no-income owners.

Iceland Foods committed to eliminating eyestalk ablation and implementing pre-slaughter electric stunning across their own-label prawn range by the end of 2027. ICAW has been running a campaign against Iceland for several months inclusive of digital actions, in-person demonstrations (including 70 people gathering in London in May) and other pressure tactics. Only 3 retailers have yet to commit to higher prawn welfare in the UK: Aldi, LIDL and ASDA. Thank you to everyone involved for supporting our campaign!
