Denmark pushes for EU ban on ‘turbo chickens’ as secret footage causes outrage
Denmark's government announced plans to seek an EU-wide prohibition on the fast‑growing chicken breed known as “turbo chickens” after a hidden video revealed cramped, inhumane conditions on farms. The Danish agriculture minister said the country will pursue a ban domestically and push for EU legislation to eliminate the breed across member states. The footage sparked outrage and the minister said it aims to improve welfare standards.
