Karen Davis of United Poultry Concerns responds to 13 frequently asked questions by pre-vegans including:
[Part 1]
What about plants?
Won't animals overrun the earth?
Farm animals can't survive on their own, can they?
Is confinement so terrible?
Aren't badly treated animals less productive?
What's the difference? -- they're going to die anyway.
[Part 2)
God created animals for us to use.
Aren't humans natural meat-eaters?
There's no such thing as cruelty-free food!
What's wrong with eggs and milk?
What about jobs?
What about human problems?
Forget about ethics. Do you think people care about animals?
Karen Davis is the President and Founder of United Poultry Concerns, a nonprofit organization that promotes the compassionate and respectful treatment of domestic fowl including a sanctuary for chickens in Virginia. She 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’ episodes that'll educate vegans and pre-vegans alike on the various aspects of veganism. I highly recommend it, and you can find it all at UPC-online.org.
