Terrorism's For The Birds
United Poultry Concerns (UPC) President Karen Davis gave a shot in the arm to Osama bin Laden in a recent letter to Vegan Voice: "[I]t is speciesist to think that the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center was a greater tragedy than what millions of chickens endured that day and what they endure every day because they cannot defend themselves against the concerted human appetites arrayed against them," writes Davis, who runs UPC out of a Virginia home she shares with over 100 duck and chicken "companions."
She continues: "If, though, the question is whether the World Trade Center attack was worse for its thousands of human victims than the sum total of misery and terror was for millions of chicken victims that day, I see only one nonspeciesist answer to the question." Presumably, that would be "no" -- this is, after all, from a woman who sleeps with chickens in her bed.
