Sharing the Love & the Loathing 25 November 2021 Sharing the Love & the Loathing Karen Davis, PhD, President, United Poultry Concerns This photo was posted on our Facebook page Nov. 25 as a comment by our friend, David Soard, in response to my Nov. 23 article “Traditional Thanksgiving: Where the ‘Sacred’ and the Profane Intersect.” Meanwhile, mainstream media like The Washington Post and National Public Radio will not SHUT UP their litany of turkey recipes and “Turkey Day” hypermania. Thus, on this tedious day of dreary “thanksgiving” and euphoric myopia in standardized America, I offer the following thought by the Reverend Andrew Linzey: “[T]here is something distinctly odd, even perverse, about an international spirituality that cannot celebrate our relations with other creatures.” Theologians, he says, who are “eager, sometimes over-eager, to see incarnational resonances within almost every area of human activity (art, music, poetry, dance) . . . look with astonishment at the idea that our relations with animals might be an issue worthy of spiritual, nay incarnational, concern.” In solidarity with the victims of human apathy and insatiable craving for innocent blood, United Poultry Concerns wishes every ethical vegan, a very happy thanks-giving day. United Poultry Concerns is a nonprofit organization that promotes the compassionate and respectful treatment of domestic fowl. Don't just switch from beef to chicken. Go Vegan. www.UPC-online.org View this article online United Poultry Concerns | PO Box 150, Machipongo, VA 23405 Unsubscribe [email protected] Update Profile | Constant Contact Data Notice Sent by [email protected] powered by Try email marketing for free today!
