Our Mission

United Poultry Concerns seeks to make the public aware of the ways poultry are treated by our society and elsewhere in the world. We assist the public to see how our treatment of these birds affects our health, our ethics, our education, our occupational safety, and our environment. We inform people about and actively promote alternatives. We do this through our extensive investigations, our chicken sanctuary, public talks, writings, mailings, conferences, information displays, and film presentations using such sources as public interest groups, animal advocacy organizations, poultry trade publications, government agencies, and scientific journals and proceedings.

Why We focus on Chickens and other "Domestic Fowl"

We Operate a Poultry Paradise

We Conduct National and International Campaigns United Poultry Concerns is leading the way to replace school hatching programs with humane alternatives and to stop the cruel starvation of hens used for egg production known as "forced molting," and much more. The US Department of Agriculture praised United Poultry Concerns for "raising the public consciousness on the issue and creating opportunities for action."

Our Newsletter & Other Publications United Poultry Concerns publishes a quarterly Newsletter, PoultryPress. We offer a variety of educational materials including Prisoned Chickens, Poisoned Eggs: An Inside Look at the Modern Poultry Industry, Replacing School Hatching Projects, Replacing Eggs, and Instead of Chicken, Instead of Turkey: A Poultryless "Poultry" Potpourri.

We Depend on Public Support United Poultry Concerns is the only organization in the country and possibly the world exclusively devoted to the plight of domestic fowl. We are funded entirely by people who care and who want to make a difference for these birds--people like you. Please support us.
