What is Respect for Chicken Month?

May 4th is the Respect for Chickens day but luckily the entire month of May has been deemed International Respect for Chickens Month.

The United Poultry Concerns launched this event in 2005 to celebrate chickens throughout the world and to raise awareness about their abuse in agribusiness, experimental research, cockfighting, and other cruelties.

 

Amazing Facts About Chickens

• According to Peta, chickens are really smart animals. Animal behavior scientists discovered that chickens are inquisitive and interesting animals whose cognitive abilities are very advanced.
• Chickens not only have great memories but they use past experiences to make decisions according to World Animal Protection.
• Chickens are able to recognize over 100 different individuals even after being separated for extended periods of time, which highlights their long-term memory capabilities reported by BCSPCA.

 

What we are doing to help

We will donate 100% of the profits made by Wire Fence on the 31st May to a chicken rescue center.
