Sounds appetising, right?! Many major UK supermarkets have stated this week that they'll never stock chlorinated chicken...others stay ominously silent. But does this news change anything for animals? And how can we use this story to better advocate on behalf of animals? As well as looking at this story, Richard, Mark & Ant dissect eight bits of news from the last 7 days in the vegan & animal rights space.
