“Through the years, people have inspired me with their beautiful stories of birds they love including harrowing accounts of risks they have taken to rescue a rooster or a hen from cruelty to safety. This issue of Poultry Press features the heroic actions of a high school student who defied her teacher’s demand that she kill the chicken she had raised in his classroom. It is fitting that we begin the New Year with the story of Whitney Hillman. As I wrote in my letter to her principal, ‘It is easy to venerate pioneers of the past. Whitney Hillman is in the present, and she is definitely the hope of the future.’” – Karen Davis, President of United Poultry Concerns
