Chickens: from individuals to exploitation

This series introduces students to chickens as sentient individuals and examines how they are bred, confined and killed within animal agriculture systems. Students analyse how language and industry practices normalise this exploitation, explore its wider impacts and develop informed ethical positions grounded in respect for animals.
