Avara have been buying soy grown on deforested Amazon land. We demand that they end sourcing Brazilian soya for their poultry feed. thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2022-0… #SummerUprising #SaveTheWye

We demand that Avara stop completely chicken manure from polluting the river Wye and clean up the mess they already made. #SummerUprising #SaveTheWye

Our third demand to Avara is that they must not build new intensive poultry units of any size, or expand existing units in the Wye catchment area. #SummerUprising #SaveTheWye
