United Poultry Concerns www.upc-online.org Volume 25, Number 4 Animal Rights Vegan Guilt The public has rejected the animal rights By Karen Davis, Ph.D. vegan message President of United Poultry Concerns The animal rights message did not go public in the form of a burgeoning movement in the United States until the late 1970s – less than 50 years ago – and it wasn’t until the 1980s that the vegan message became established among animal rights activists. In the year 2016, this message cannot be said to have been “rejected” by the mainstream, as the animal rights vegan movement is still very new. Fifteen years ago, it could reasonably have been thought that society had already “The public needs a strong, clear message from the “rejected” the gay rights message. Add to this the fact that the public is still largely ignorant of vegan foods animal protection community.” and cuisine, and while our message is about more than food, it may be said at this point that the public cannot “They’ve heard it. They’ve rejected it.” – James have rejected what it scarcely knows.

  • Broiler Chickens
    The Life of: Broiler Chickens Chickens reared for meat are called broilers or broiler chickens. They originate from the jungle fowl of the Indian Subcontinent. The broiler industry has grown due to consumer demand for affordable poultry meat. Breeding for production traits and improved nutrition have been used to increase the weight of the breast muscle. Commercial broiler chickens are bred to be very fast growing in order to gain weight quickly. In their natural environment, chickens spend much of their time foraging for food. This means that they are highly motivated to perform species specific behaviours that are typical for chickens (natural behaviours), such as foraging, pecking, scratching and feather maintenance behaviours like preening and dust-bathing. Trees are used for perching at night to avoid predators. The life of chickens destined for meat production consists of two distinct phases. They are born in a hatchery and moved to a grow-out farm at 1 day-old. They remain here until they are heavy enough to be slaughtered. This document gives an overview of a typical broiler chicken’s life. The Hatchery The parent birds (breeder birds - see section at the end) used to produce meat chickens have their eggs removed and placed in an incubator. In the incubator, the eggs are kept under optimum atmosphere conditions and highly regulated temperatures. At 21 days, the chicks are ready to hatch, using their egg tooth to break out of their shell (in a natural situation, the mother would help with this). Chicks are precocial, meaning that immediately after hatching they are relatively mature and can walk around.

REV. 29 (1978) www.NationalAgLawCenter.org UNITED STATES V. NATIONAL BROILER MARKETING ASSOCIATION: WILL THE CHICKEN LICKIN' STAND? CHARLES GORDON BROWNt Most of the nation's major broiler! producers are skeptical of the wisdom of the old adage "build a better mouse trap and the world will beat a path to your door." The broiler industry built a better mouse trap all right. Sweeping technological and organizational innovations have transformed the industry into one of major agricultural importance. From a meager $19 million in 1934,2 gross farm income from broilers soared to $2.9 billion in 1975,3 a more than fifteen hundred percent increase in just four decades. The remarkable growth of the industry has been accompanied by an even more remarkable phenomenon: broilers are cheaper today than ever before, despite escalating production costs,4 because the efficiency of the industry has kept prices low. 5 The broiler industry's mouse trap has been so success­ ful, in fact, that it has become a model for other areas of agricultural production.6 But the news is not all good.

Not all state or county prisons as of yet, offer the Jewish inmates the right to practice their religion equally, Jewish requirments permited in one state and one institution might not be permitted in the second institution. For some all it will take is an inmates request, for policy to be written or edited, for others it may take a little more.
