Tell Compass Group USA to ban Frankenchickens and publish supplier partners

10 min

Why it's urgent

No fixed deadline is given. The campaign was listed July 1, 2025, and Compass Group missed its 2024 deadline, per the group.

The strategy

Asks a major buyer to publicly name suppliers for higher-welfare breeds. Large foodservice buyers can shift supply, but one message adds little, and the figures come from the group.

Why it scored 67

Scale: Massive: About 60 million birds a year in Compass Group's US supply chain, per Mercy For Animals' campaign page.
Severity: Serious: Fast growth, lameness and live-shackle slaughter cause serious suffering, and a breed change would reduce some of it, but it would not end slaughter.
Chance of success: Plausible: Compass missed its 2024 deadline but has published a roadmap; the report says it still lacks supplier partnerships, so progress could go either way.
Your difference: Small: An online message to one company, among many.

Open to anyone. The page also offers a survey for people who work for or attend an institution catered by Compass Group. The report does not say what details the form requires. Sources: frankenchickens.com, compasscruelty.com, mercyforanimals.org. How scoring works
