“Everyone must now demand stricter controls from the AMA.” “Getting through the controls” cannot be. “This is a clear failure of the control system,” says the manager of Billa and Penny’s mother to the “Kurier” (Saturday). Politics and farmers also get off badly with Haraszti.
The backgrounds:

“Off for full column sheets 2039 a single joke”
“The fact that politicians decided to end fully slatted floors by 2039 is a joke,” says Haraszti. “Far too slow, far too comfortable. The fact that the animals are given ten percent more space in the AMA barn is also a plant of the consumers.” The manager advertises in the newspaper that his chains’ own offers are better.
This is how broilers live in Austria
It’s not just the AMA that needs to “rethink”. This also applies to conventional farmer representatives, who argued that customers were not willing to pay a premium. “Animal welfare is no longer a niche topic. We sell 62 percent of our poultry under an animal welfare seal. At the meat counter we only have meat from animal welfare programs. It’s not a gimmick, it’s what the customer wants.”
In any case, the customer needs freedom of choice when it comes to meat and the like. Cheaper own brands and campaigns are booming, but the organic and regional areas are growing just as much, according to Haraszti.
Association against animal factories demonstrated
The association against animal factories (VGT), which released the video at the beginning of the week, underlined its demands for species-appropriate husbandry on yesterday’s D
on Thursday with a protest in front of a supermarket branch in Vienna. The activists criticized “the use of torture breeding”. They ask the Lidl retail chain across Europe to “join the European broiler chicken initiative”.
After an inspection this week, the AMA had “requested the livestock owner to submit a comprehensive statement on all allegations made. Subsequently, the AMA Marketing as the licensor will evaluate the final inspection report and the statement as well as all other available information and decide on sanctions”. . We would like to keep you informed about the developments. In any case, the company will remain closed until the situation is finally clarified and may no longer deliver to the AMA seal of approval program. Additionally, an immediate control priority action has been announced.
