I. UPC Recognition Of Other Groups

When writing or speaking of achievements, victories, or responses from adversaries, United Poultry Concerns (UPC) will make every effort to acknowledge the assistance and/or contributions of other groups. We view such acknowledgement as ethically appropriate and as a way of creating and sustaining good working relationships with other groups.

• When such groups are of a definite and small number (3 or fewer) and are groups with whom UPC has a positive working relationship, the groups will be identified.
  
  
• When the number of such groups is too large to name every group, we will say "United Poultry Concerns and several other organizations . . ."
  
  
• If we have two or three principal collaborators, we will say or write, for example, "United Poultry Concerns, the Association of Veterinarians for Animal Rights, Mercy for Animals, and various (or several) other groups."
  
  
• When the list includes groups whom we do not respect or with whom we do not have a satisfactory working relationship, we will acknowledge those groups as "various other organizations."
  
  
• Short of an overridingly compelling ethical reason to do so, UPC will not publicly disparage other groups.
