Synopsis:
My experience with chickens for more than twenty years has shown me that chickens are conscious and emotional beings with adaptable sociability and a range of intentions and personalities. I will relate my personal stories about the chickens at our sanctuary to how chickens are treated in factory farming and live poultry markets.

Immediately following my talk I will sign copies of my book Prisoned Chickens, Poisoned Eggs: An Inside Look at the Modern Poultry Industry (New Edition 2009).
