The Humane Hoax Chicken Webinar
Saturday, May 4, 2024

Join us for our Humane Hoax Chicken Webinar on Saturday, May 4, 2024. May 4 is International Respect for Chickens Day and we are dedicating our event to the woman who created this day of action, the late Karen Davis, founder and president of United Poultry Concerns. Her work, dedication, and legacy advocating for chickens lives on through events like this one. We want to focus our attention on chickens with this unique event and this year is especially poignant with the loss of one of the greatest advocates for chickens, Karen Davis. This event is dedicated to her and we will have a special segment of video tributes in her honor. We have great presenters this year with some fascinating topics from chicken folklore to chicken advocacy strategy. Register for free today.
