International Respect for Chickens Day/month of May: Images and Words of Kindness and Respect for Our Feathered Friends

Dear UPC,
In honor of International Respect for Chickens Day I designed the attached images. I hope they will help to spread the message of kindness and respect for our feathered friends. Thank you for your inspiring and brilliant insights, efforts and love on behalf of birds.
Best wishes,
Beth Redwood

If animals have wings, they want to fly. If they have legs, they want to walk. If they have voices, they want to communicate. If they have offspring, they want to nurture them. Having lives, they want to keep them. But these choices we have taken from other animals. That is our legacy.- Colleen Patrick-Goudreau

One of the terrible things that we do to chickens and other animals whom we incarcerate is to deny them the opportunity for their Earth Rights - to be on the Earth in a way that suits their nature and brings to them the ultimate potential that they have and want to unfold when they are free to do so and not prevented by their captors, by their incarceration. ~ KAREN DAVIS

Chickens are not voiceless. We are their Voice in the world of other human beings. We have to be their political voice, their vicarious voice. We speak for them in the human domain. But they are not voiceless themselves and the have many ways of communicating amongst themselves as well as with other species, including ourselves. ~ KAREN DAVIS
