The exhibit is scheduled to run until November 19th. The birds have been observed exhibiting fear behavior on several occasions, and there is nothing for them to do. The birds are being degraded to museum specimens, as if they were inanimate objects or dead, which they are not.
Chickens actively walk, run, and fly to perches.
Denial of these natural activities constitutes inhumane treatment. Please urge Mr. Mauer and Ms. Grossman to cancel the remainder of this exhibit featuring the live birds. The fact that these birds are not being subjected to physical injury does not mean that they are not being subjected to physical injury does not mean that they are being treated humanely. Request a written reply. MIA Exhibitors Free Chickens from Exhibit United Poultry Concerns.
