The True Cost of Xmas
Around 10 million turkeys are slaughtered in the UK to meet the demand
for turkey at the Christmas table. In the natural world a turkey’s
lifespan is around ten years but for food they are normally killed between
9 and 21 weeks. Regardless of how animals are kept or reared and whether
they have higher welfare standards - the true cost to farm animals at
Christmas is their lives.
We are asking the UK to think about the role animals play in their Christmas
Festivities. The True Cost of Christmas is a report which highlights
the plight of animals as part of the traditional festivities.
