It is with sadness that United Poultry Concerns announces the sudden death of Vicky Barbee over the summer. Vicky wrote the above inscription for our Freddaflower Memorial Fund. She was a passionate animal rights vegan activist who rescued many animals in Virginia and served all animal advocacy causes. Vicky was a generous supporter of United Poultry Concerns and will be deeply missed by all of us.
We thank those people who have contributed to our work with recent donations In Loving Memory and in Honor of the following beloved family members and friends:

For dear Potpo, the young "broiler" rooster who was rescued to live his short life at UPC, and his fellow feathered angels, now loosed in heaven to fly among pillared columns of fleecy clouds and golden light . . . -
from his loving sponsor, Roseanne Smith
In honor of my friend Melody Lumby on her birthday. Melody rescues and keeps a loving home for many chickens, turkeys, roosters and guineas. Thank you! - from Adrienne Mattioli
In honor of my friend Ellen Ravens-Seger and her husband Bob, who like yourself care for chickens rescued from slaughter. Sadly two of their beloved companions, Frieda and Paisley, have recently passed away and it is in memorial to them that I make this donation. - from Jack Lotko
For my hen Penny, who is forever missed and remembered with love.
- from Edna-Ann Senecal

In loving memory of Tai Jen Kou, my beloved Shih Tzu dog, who shared his life with me for 13 years and 12 days until another dog of a careless owner attacked and killed him. In my pain and grief, I joined an animal organization to contribute money in his memory, then another and another including United Poultry Concerns. - from Linda A. Morello
In honor of Harvey, the feisty rooster I finally managed to rescue with the help of Matt and Mary Kelly. Many thanks for getting Harvey a good home with the Kellys. - from Harold Mercer
This donation is in honor of Hariette, Princess and Kookoo. - from Anne E. Steinhardt
