AR-News: (US) United Poultry Concerns Urges NHSPCA to Serve Compassionate Meals Instead of Dead Chickens, Fish at Nov. 15 Fundraiser

[Animalconcerns]

MACHIPONGO, Va., Nov. 13 /U.S. Newswire/ -- For the second year in a row,
United Poultry Concerns (UPC), an animal protection organization, has
urged the New Hampshire SPCA (NHSPCA) to live up to its name -- Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals -- by serving only vegetarian
meals at its fundraisers. Animal protectionists around the country,
including shelter directors, have begged the NHSPCA to protect all animals
by adopting a vegetarian policy. As one shelter director said, "We should
not eat whom we shelter."

United Poultry Concerns President Dr. Karen Davis has written to Executive
Director Lisa Dennison and to Board of Directors Chairman Richard Ford
urging that the use of charitable funds to prevent animal cruelty should
not be used to perpetuate cruelty. "For a 'humane' society to serve and
advertise slaughtered chickens and fish sends a horrible, morally chaotic
message to the community," says Davis. "How can the NHSPCA tell the story
of rescuing a flock of suffering chickens, then turn around and order 400
chickens to suffer and die for dollars?"
