“Chickens are great companions. If only people knew how smart and lovable they can be.”
May is International Respect for Chickens Month and May 4 is International Respect for Chickens Day. United Poultry Concerns (UPC) launched International Respect for Chickens Day in 2005 to celebrate chickens and protest the bleakness of their lives in farming operations.
Chickens evolved in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. Today, they are sealed up in dark, airless, industrial sheds choking with pollution and pathogens. They are painfully crippled and sick with respiratory and intestinal diseases. Public health officials told The Washington Post in 2009 (01/23/09) that today’s chickens are “raised in squalor” and “infested with salmonella.” The conditions they are in “cause salmonella to thrive.”
“Our message is simple,” says UPC President Karen Davis. “Please show kindness to chickens by not eating them. Discover the variety of all-vegetarian, vegan foods and cooking ideas. Stick up for chickens. Tell your family and friends how badly chickens are treated, and how cheerful and loving they are when they are treated with respect.”

NORAH A CHICKEN:
Norah A Chicken by My. Human/Paula Campbell Owner of Rainbow Ark Animal Sanctuary
(second one has been written, not published as yet)
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Norah dreams of a life that her mother told her of – a life of freedom to roam outside in the sunshine eating lovely fat juicy worms. The harsh truth is, you see, Norah and her fellow chickens exist in small, overcrowded cages, in a dark, dirty and smelly barn. One day, after much commotion, the chickens are brutally gathered up and driven away to face their destiny, and Norah is inadvertently separated from the rest of the chickens.
That’s when she finds herself on a long and courageous journey to try and find her friends, set them free, and lead them to the idyllic life they all deserve
