Beautiful! International Respect for Chickens Gallery of Ideas & Hall of Honor
CONGRATULATIONS AND THANKS to all who submitted their ideas and creations to honor the chickens during International Respect for Chickens Month of May.
United Poultry Concerns and Chicken Run Rescue invited an exchange of ideas about how to inspire compassion and action for chickens and were richly rewarded with poetry, art, music performances, letters to the editor, articles about the birds and heroes in the animal rights movement, culinary creations and even furniture for the birds.
This Gallery is and will remain a living testament to the cause of justice for chickens, other domestic fowl and, by extension, all animals. Thanks to all who participated, and remember, please, that every day is Respect for Chickens Day. Keep up the good work till the rest of the world gets it right.
All of the work submitted will remain in the Gallery permanently. This inspired project is the brainchild of Chicken Run Rescue. We are so grateful to CRR on behalf of chickens across the world.
