West Los Angeles Bird Club Goes Veggie!

“At WLABC all birds are created equal.”

Deciding "it was inappropriate to be a bird club that eats birds," the West Los Angeles Bird Club voted this summer to go veggie. WLA Bird Club President Mira Tweti told UPC, "It goes against our mission statement to eat birds. We're dedicated to protecting and helping ALL birds."

The vote followed UPC member Cherylynn Costner's mesmerizing talk at the group's May meeting about the beauty and dignity of chickens. Cherylynn, who runs the Hillary Chicken Memorial Fund (310-455-0390), brought several chickens to the meeting and fed the enthusiastic audience delicious vegan cuisine from Elaine's, the famous LA vegan caterer. That did it!

"You Don't Have to Have Birds, You Just Need to Love Them!" The West Los Angeles Bird Club invites you to come to their meetings at 7:30 PM on the second Wednesday of each month at American Legion Hall, 5309 S. Sepulveda Blvd, just north of Jefferson, in Culver City. Cross Street: Jannison. Email: WestLABirdClub@aol.com or call 310-358-2951. Monthly Newsletter: Newsbeak
