Short film [50 Days of a Broiler: The World Viewed by Mei] created, English version distributed

The year-end and new year holidays are the season for international film festivals. Based on the breeding record footage of broiler poultry farming [50 Days of a Broiler: The World Viewed by Mei] published for 50 days from August this year, Animal Rights Center Japan produced a short film of the same name in English for overseas audience, to be exhibited at several events. Unfortunately, however, in response to the spread of the coronavirus infection, the earliest film festival was postponed to be online, so we decided to release the film to the public in advance considering that the information would become out of date.

The production involved volunteer supporters as well, and it became a work full of thoughts for the chickens, appropriate for Animal Rights Center. We have already received inquiries from film festival officials about the content, and through the work, we will appeal to the world the low level of animal welfare in Japan’s poultry farming.

It is said that the spread of animal rights to the world is due to the power of the miserable images of animals for meat spread on SNS. Compared to that, the situation of animal welfare varies from country to country, so it is necessary to appeal the disparity outside the country. Therefore, ARCJ will continue to take every opportunity to promote the issue of animal welfare in Japan internationally. Please spreading the video.
