United Poultry Concerns Proudly Announces International Respect for Chickens Day
Wednesday May 4, 2005

"They would rather die for their
chicks than seek safety in flight . . .";
Aldrovandi; 16 th century

Chickens are cheerful, intelligent birds. The
mother hen tenderly cares for her chicks, and
roosters protect their families and flocks.

We urge people to do an ACTION for chickens on
May 4. Show the world that chickens are
people too! Ideas:

* Write a letter/op-ed to the editor

* Get on a radio talk show

* Table at your local mall

* Arrange a library display/video presentation

* Have a Respect for Chickens Day
celebration at your school

* Leaflet at a busy street corner/ your local
university

* Have a We-Don't-Eat-Our-Feathered-
Friends Vegan Party!

* Show the movie Chicken Run!!!

UPC has posters, brochures, videos.
