Go Vegan Radio's Bob Linden interviews Dr Karen Davis, founder and president of United Poultry Concerns. Dr Davis speaks about the terrible plight of birds in the egg and poultry industry. Say no to this animal abuse. After listening, please help stop the suffering by giving up eggs and chicken/turkey products. There are vegan alternatives available. Thanks to Bob Linden for permission to reproduce this extract from his November 8th show. Visit www.goveganradio.com to listen to more shows and to make a donation. Thank you.
What the Dr. in this video forgets to point out is that chickens are primarily insectivores (note the shape of the beak vs. being shaped for nutcracking like a finch) and while the grain diet fed to the birds meets their basic needs it doesn't touch the protein requirements that the birds have. These protein requirements cause the birds to peck and even canibalize eachother in an attempt to fill the requirements.
