Law Proposed in Washington State to Help Protect Hens
Update 3/6/2001: Washington State Hen Legislation Defeated
|
Dear Compassionate Friend of All Animals...
Every night, without fail, Sylvia, one of the little hens from the
Amberson
Egg Farm rescue, chooses to sleep on a soft dog bed in our rehab house,
inbetween our sanctuary dogs and cats. Together, they sleep the night
away, snuggled together. The little hen has chronic foot problems, so she
cannot be
placed in the chicken barn. There is never any threat that the dogs or
cats
will hurt this tiny, 2 lb. chicken. It is such peace to witness. By the
way,
that's Lilly, our paralyzed cat on the left, Sylvia, and Sadie, a
14-year-old
rescued Collie, on the right.

Sylvia never deserves to suffer. Just like the dogs or cats she shares
her
bed with.
When we rescued 1000 starving hens, including Sylvia, last March, we
couldn't feel any sense of peace until we changed the laws in this state
to
assure that the thousands of little hens who starved to death, who we
couldn't help, were vindicated.

On January 2nd, representatives from Pasado's Safe Haven met with
Representative Sandra Romero, who many of you will remember as the
co-author
of The Pasado Law. She agreed to take our suggestions and write them
into
the first legislation that would demand more humane treatment of
egg-laying
hens.
PLEASE go to: www.pasadosafehaven.org/egg_hen_legislation.htm
You will find everything to easily write your legislators.
These letters are needed NOW.
They may not be dogs or cats, but they can sense comfort and pain, just
like
every living creature. Please, help them live a better life?
For the animals,
Susan Michaels
