I hope you will find a way to include concern for the birds and their plight in your future coverage of the poultry industry if you do more on this subject. I wish you would do a deeper analysis of the essential violence of this industry and its primary victims. While the workers are treated badly by the companies, these workers treat the birds just as badly, if not worse. Human suffering surrounds the birds' flesh, in Mr. Lewis's words, but the suffering of the birds themselves is imbedded in that flesh. This suffering deserves our attention.
Chickens are sensitive and intelligent birds.
Please find a way to include their viewpoint in your forthcoming reports on this terrible industry. Thank you for providing a vital public service. Sincerely, Karen Davis, PhD President United Poultry Concerns.
