89.5 FM or www.ciut.fm . Tune in for a weekly update and editorial on animal-related news, as well as engaging interviews with activists and academics.***

This week on Animal Voices, we'll be speaking with Karen Davis, president of United Poultry Concerns. We'll quiz Karen
about the intriguing document, "How Switzerland Got Rid of Battery Hen Cages." According upc-online.org, "this 60-page book by Heinzpeter Studer traces the history of the battery cage in Switzerland from its first installation in 1935, through the swirls of vehement discussions about the appropriateness of
hen batteries in the 1970s, to the abolition of battery cages in 1991." Karen will also tell us more about the recent
liberation of 44 hens in New Zealand, as well as her take on the Avian Flu ruckus. Folks interested in strategy will definitely want to tune into this one...
