Hungry for game birds this Christmas? Avoid supermarket quail, says NGO

NL Times  

Animal rights organization Wakker Dier is calling on those considering quail for Christmas dinner to rather reconsider, or at least avoid buying these game birds at Albert Heijn and Jumbo. The two Dutch supermarket chains are selling quail without an animal welfare quality mark this year, the organization said. But farmed quails are usually kept in bare stables without shelter, comparable to the stables used for factory farmed chickens, Wakker Dier said. Quail with an animal welfare quality label - the French "Label Rouge" - are packed at most 62 quails per square meter.
