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 a some new ways to prove this; I hope you’ll participate.
