used. She has created a petition.” Please sign & share:

"The Tropicana Casino in Atlantic City should cancel the 'Chicken Challenge' and use a computerized opponent instead of a live bird. There was never an
excuse for cruelty, but with the technology we now have, the infliction of suffering on a sentient creature for fun is even more atrocious." UPC President
Karen Davis, Letter in The New York Times, September 10, 2001.
Thank you for taking action.
