It all started when “The Story of Chickens” art project came to town. The artist’s plan for the month-long “exhibit,” which had been funded by a grant, was to display a group of chickens in a mobile pen for 30 days and then publicly kill them and serve them to her audience as a meal. . . . Karen Davis of United Poultry Concerns, who helped us throughout the campaign, published a detailed account of the event in the UPC article, “The Story of Chickens: Closing Night.” – Judy Carman

“Art materials are a multimillion dollar industry and so many contain animal bodies. If everyone went Vegan there would be no secondary market. It also happens that businesses that focus on alternatives to animal use, make superior quality art supplies.”
