#  El infierno del pollo

![El infierno del pollo](https://ivu.org/images/legacy/history/banners/spanish-trans-tva-chickenhell.png)| **El infierno del pollo**   de **[Toronto Vegetarian Association](http://www.veg.on.ca/)***Al igual que en Canadá, la carne de pollo es la más vendida en las Islas Británicas. Lo que viene a continuación, está extraído de un artículo aparecido en **The Guardian**.*  ---  La industria del pollo a la parrilla es, probablemente, la más sórdida del país. A menos que en la etiqueta ponga lo contrario, puede estar seguro de que el pollo ha pasado toda su vida en espacios cerrados, amontonado en cobertizos sin ventanas, moviéndose entre las basuras que resultan del apilamiento de heces. La superproducción en la cría de pollos para llegar a producir la gran cantidad de carne de pechuga que los consumidores encuentran tan “delicada”, provoca pájaros con patas mutiladas y débiles corazones que pasan toda su vida sufriendo. El profesor John Webster, jefe de la Escuela Veterinaria de la Universidad de Bristol, ha denunciado que esto es “simplemente, el ejemplo más extremo en la inhumanidad del hombre en contra de otra criautura viviente.”  La Sociedad protectora de Animales británica, Compasión en el Mundo de la Granja, ha lanzado una campaña para establecer unos principios de bienestar que se apliquen a todos los alimentos cárnicos. Los puntos clave son: no recluir permanentemente bajo techo, sitios cómodos para que descansen con suficiente espacio, uso de métodos para que se desarrollen más lentamente, animales más sostenibles, comida apropiada, capacidad para desarrollar comportamientos naturales, periodos naturales de destete, menor tiempo posible de transporte y controles más férreos en los métodos de matanza.  Aplique estos razonables criterios al grueso de la producción animal británica y puede borrar al pollo de su lista.  *Extraído del suplemento semanal de la revista The Guardian del 18 de Noviembre de 1995.*  | \|  \| \|---\|---\|  A note on this archive. The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly.  Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value.  - Hits: 989    ###  Vegan Recipes   - [![VEGAN FRIED MUNG BEANS](https://ivu.org/media/zoo/images/th10%20240_24eb47646d29055885f6e026bc38dd66.jpg "VEGAN FRIED MUNG BEANS")](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/vegan-fried-mung-beans.html "VEGAN FRIED MUNG BEANS")           ####  [VEGAN FRIED MUNG BEANS](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/vegan-fried-mung-beans.html "VEGAN FRIED MUNG BEANS")            [Breakfast and brunch](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/breakfast-and-brunch.html) [Vietnam](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/vietnam.html) [Snacks](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/snacks.html) -
