Sign Animal Equality's petition asking Pret to publish a plan to phase out Frankenchickens

Why it's urgent

Animal Equality says Pret has set a new deadline without a clear plan, but no date for that deadline is given. The petition has no closing date.

The strategy

The petition puts a public demand to Pret's chief executive for a published plan. Sustained public pressure and reputational risk can prompt a company to act, but one signature adds only a little to a campaign that already has over 100,000 signatures.

Why it scored 50

Scale: Huge

Guess of 1 to 10 million chickens a year, based on Pret's UK chicken sales; no source gives a bird count.

Severity: Serious

Per Animal Equality, fast-growing breeds suffer lameness and heart failure, so a move to slower-growing birds would be a meaningful improvement.

Chance of success: Long shot

Pret has already missed its 2026 pledge and no plan has been published, so a petition to its CEO is a long shot.

Your difference: Small

One signature among the 106,082 people who have already signed has very little effect.
