255: Tractor Supply Employee Exposes the Company’s Cruelty to Chicks and Ducklings as a Matter of Policy and Practice by Karen Davis at UPC-Online.org

After learning about UPC’s campaign to get Tractor Supply Company, with close to 2000 stores nationwide, to stop selling baby chicks and ducklings, an employee at a store in Washington State contacted UPC about Tractor Supply’s inhumane policies and practices toward these birds. Karen Davis of United Poultry Concerns shares the employee’s statement at UPC-Online.org.

United Poultry Concerns, founded by Karen Davis, is a nonprofit organization that promotes the compassionate and respectful treatment of domestic fowl including a sanctuary for chickens in Virginia. Karen is the author of numerous books, essays, articles and campaigns advocating for these birds. Her latest book is For the Birds: From Exploitation to Liberation: Essays on Chickens, Turkeys, and Other Domesticated Fowl. 

Also please check out their excellent podcast called "Hope for the Animals", hosted by longtime animal advocate and author Hope Bohanec. She has great conversations with expert guests, and definitely check out the ‘Reason for Vegan’ series, and the ‘microsanctuary’ series. I highly recommend it, and you can find it all at UPC-online.org.
