A woman dedicated to the "compassionate and respectful treatment of domestic fowl" has declared May 4 "International Respect for Chickens Day."Karen Davis, the founder and president of United Poultry Concerns, describes May 4 as a day to "celebrate the dignity, beauty and life of chickens and to protest against the bleakness of their lives in farming operations."
"Chickens are lively birds who have been torn from the leafy world in which they evolved. We want chickens to be restored to their green world and not be eaten," Davis said in a press release.
On "International Respect for Chickens Day," humans are urged to show compassion for chickens - for example, writing letters to the editor, setting up booths in shopping malls or "showing the movie Chicken Run to students, family and friends."
Davis's United Poultry Concerns urges people to "celebrate Easter without eggs." It has campaigned against the White House Easter Egg Roll, the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" book series; and even compared the attacks on the World Trade Center to what "millions of chickens endure every day."
Davis describes chickens as "heroic protectors of their families and flocks" and "highly intelligent individuals" with advanced "social skills."
Yeah and they taste good when you fry them! Sorry Karen, but I'll be at KFC on May 4th.
