Living One - Karen Davis

This is the third of a special multi-part Living One series, VEGANISM AT THE CROSSROADS OF HUMAN IDENTITY & CULTURAL CHANGE.
What Does Animal Liberation Really Mean? The Same as, or Less Than, Human Liberation?
Karen Davis is the founder and president of United Poultry Concerns including the Alliance to End Chickens as Kaporos dedicated to the compassionate and respectful treatment of domesticated birds founded in 1990. She will discuss the suffering and abuses of chickens in farming operations, sacrificial “atonement” rituals, and farm supply businesses like Tractor Supply Company, and explain how we can restore birds lucky enough to be rescued to a sense of their true selves instead of the “lesser beings” to which abusers seek to reduce them. This project extrapolates to a larger vision and undertaking of Rescue. Karen is the author of numerous publications including the books: Prisoned Chickens, Poisoned Eggs: An Inside Look at the Modern Poultry Industry; More Than a Meal: The Turkey in History, Myth, Ritual, and Reality; and The Holocaust and the Henmaid’s Tale: A Case for Comparing Atrocities.

I enjoyed this conversation from beginning to end! Thanks for inviting Karen Davis to speak about some of her life experiences as a long-standing animal advocate as well as her take on the current state of the AR movement. Her comments about Peter Singer were eye-opening and quite disturbing, really. My admiration for Karen Davis's work knows no bounds.
