Karen Davis -United Poultry Concerns

Karen Davis Emma Townshend 11 October 2015 10


Background
share close

In Australia, the current review of the Poultry Code is underway. The last review was in 2001 and gained pitifully little for the life of a chicken born into the food production industry which is of no surprise. Birds don’t belong in cages, let alone on our plate. Likewise, animal welfare does not belong in the Department of Primary Industries. Like the wings of a caged hen, welfare ain’t going to ‘fly’ there.  Listen in to our chat with Karen Davis, a leading international animal rights activist for our treasured feathered friends.

A weekly show hosted by Melbourne-based animal advocates, presenting local and international interviews, presentations, and music from this vibrant social justice movement. The show is broadcast on 3CR Community Radio 855AM
