Thinking Like a Chicken
News & Views!
“I want to influence people to perceive chickens and turkeys in
their own right, apart from the categorical traps in which they are
typically held captive.”
– Karen Davis
“Thinking Like a Chicken” features short, articulate talks about these birds and our advocacy on their behalf. Topics range from inside the poultry industry to life in a sanctuary, a cockfighting ring, a school hatching project, a backyard. Ideas and situations that highlight these birds will be discussed. Karen will describe her personal experiences with chickens, turkeys and other domesticated birds for more than three decades along with the challenges and ethics of plant-based and “clean-meat” advocacy.
“While I would not presume to speak for ‘voiceless’ birds
– their voices speak for themselves! – I do seek to be their
Voice in the public domain to help them be heard. Please join me for these
podcast episodes.”
– Karen Davis, United Poultry Concerns
