Chicken Flying Meet Canceled

UPC is pleased to announce that our 2-year protest campaign paid off: "The International Chicken Flying Meet," held annually during the Bob Evans Farm Festival since 1971, dropped out of sight this year. Activists who drove to Rio Grande, Ohio from MD, VA and Cleveland to protest the meet on October 15 were elated that this year not a single sad crow rose from stuffy cages full of birds awaiting their turn to "fly" in this tedious "meet" symbolized by a toilet plunger. Thank you for your many letters to Bob Evans!

Please thank Bob Evans Farms for making the corporate decision to drop the chicken-flying meet: Bob Evans Farms, Inc., 3776 South High St., Columbus, OH 432O7-O863 (614-491-2225).
