	Salon \| Newsreal: Chickens have rights too!
		The letter came from Karen Davis, president of United Poultry Concerns Inc. Davis -- something of a Simon Wiesenthal for fowl -- says she founded the not-for-profit organization seven years ago in part to memorialize her "companion" broiler hen, Viva, whom she had rescued from a chicken coop five years earlier.
		United Poultry Concerns' main mission, explains Davis, is to "combat the negative stereotype of poultry as dumb, dirty and low on the evolutionary scale."
		Lately, Davis and her flock of 6,800 poultry protectors are throwing their weight behind a grass-roots campaign to halt forced molting, the systematic starvation of hens to control laying cycles.

	Satya May 00: Changing the Legal Status of Chickens by Karen Davis
		The absence of a law conveys the false notion to lawmakers, the public and those who work directly with poultry that these birds do not suffer, or that their suffering does not matter, and that society has no moral obligation toward them.
		While UPC opposes the slaughtering and eating of animals, we recognize that without laws there is no accountability and prosecutions are impossible.
		If it were up to UPC, starving a hen or a dog would be classed as a felony offense carrying the same penalty as starving a child or anyone else.

	Forced Molting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Two animal welfare organizations, United Poultry Concerns and the Association of Veterinarians for Animal Rights, are petitioning the United States Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration to eliminate the forced molting of laying birds in the United States.
		In addition to the evidence linking forced molting and SE in shell eggs, we will present evidence showing that chickens have a complex nervous system and cognitive capacity, and that their ability to suffer from acute and chronic stress, pain, and fear entitles them to relief from the inhumane practice of being deliberately starved.
		We are formally petitioning the United States Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration to eliminate the forced molting of laying birds in the United States for the reasons set forth in this petition: the forced molting of laying birds is cruel and it causes disease.

		Despite City Manager Dan Nick's assurance on August 11 that Morin had been permanently removed from all duties that would place him in contact with animals, we recently received these graphic photographs of a dog whom Morin reportedly admitted to the Jourdanton animal control facility and was then denied needed veterinary care.
		A concerned citizen alleges that when Morin picked up the dog on October 6, the animal was wearing a collar that she had outgrown so much that it was cutting deeply into her neck.

		The brochure also makes explicit the close and long-standing link between the agricultural use of birds and their use in biomedical research.
		Because birds are considered to be cheap and easily bred and managed, the poultry industry provides laboratories with a steady supply of fowl, who are then unable to engage in their normal types of behavior.
