As reported in the Daily Mirror, we filmed undercover earlier this year at Heart of England Farms in order to assess the conditions in which the game birds are kept. Many of the birds were stressed from their confinement and in extremely poor condition.
We discovered that the cages used for partridges at this particular establishment were totally barren, leaving the birds nothing to look at but four solid metal walls. We also found dead birds left for days in the egg collection trays.
