John Oliver: Chickens (one HBO video, three petitions)

Published on May 17, 2015

John Oliver explains how chicken farming can be unfair, punishing, and inhumane. And not just for the chickens!

---

In the year since John Oliver’s “Chickens” video was published on YouTube, over six million people have watched it, and not just to see a couple of great seconds of Sean Connery footage … we care about animal welfare, and we care about each other. There are some new ways to prove this; I hope you’ll participate.
