“Please do an ACTION for Chickens in May!” A message from Ruby & Ivy

“Dear Friends,

INTERNATIONAL RESPECT FOR CHICKENS DAY, MAY 4 is an annual project launched by United Poultry Concerns in 2005 to celebrate chickens throughout the world and protest the bleakness of our lives in farming operations – including ‘cage-free.’ The entire month of May is International Respect for Chickens Month!

Please do an ACTION for chickens on or around May 4. Ideas include leafleting on a busy street corner, holding an office party or classroom celebration, writing a letter to the editor, doing a radio call-in, tabling at your local church, school or shopping mall, hosting a vegan open house, or simply talking to family, friends or strangers about the plight – and delight – of chickens and how people can help us.

Thank you for sticking up for chickens! Please make every day Respect for Chickens Day. We count on you!

Sincerely,

Ruby the hen & Ivy her foster chick”
