42 days

The life of a chicken on a factory farm is short and full of suffering. It generally lasts 42 days.

Towards the end, the bird is so heavy it has difficulty walking and breathing, and its living space is the size of an A4 sheet of paper.

Every year, more than a billion (1 000 000 000) broilers live and die like this in Poland. Several dozen million of them don’t even reach the slaughterhouse. They die earlier as a result of disease and cruel treatment.

In the course of the last decade, the number of factory farms has increased in Poland threefold, making it the largest manufacturer of this kind of meat in Europe. The number of protests against new farms is also growing. In something over a decade, there have been around 900 protests in 500 localities.

The comics journalism report by Dominik Szczepański (idea and text) and Anna Krztoń (illustrations) tells a universal story that might occur on one of the 2 000 gigantic Polish broiler farms. It came about due to conversations with employees on the farms, scientists, sociologists researching the subject of factory farms and moral philosophers, as well as members of NGOs, video recordings from hidden cameras, visits to farms, and multiple publications about the factory farming of animals.
