10,000 Birds

JANUARY 8, 2012

As promised, I watched Falcons get plucked, pinioned, and debeaked this weekend. If you’ve blogged about your weekend experience, you should include a link in your comment. Sure, I’m likely omitting some other far more important factors involving family, friends, and professional success, but the little things mean a lot.

There will be no pies or cakes that were made with milk that was meant for calves, or eggs that represent dead male chicks , forced molting, debeaking and other mutilations and cruelties. Justice for beings who look very different from us but who, like us, experience pleasure and pain, boredom and frustration.
