Films Explore the Ethics of Backyard Chickens

August 1, 2021 by 1 Comment

These films explore chicken farming in America, and provide a brief history of the chicken industry and discussion of the adverse environmental impact of the industry on land, air, water, human/animal health and well-being. With Karen Davis, PhD, Founder and Director of United Poultry Concern.

Until All are Free is a film about the interconnection of all beings and our planet…It’s a film about justice, compassion and saving our world.

    For most of the past week I was hoping there would be a comment on this post, which I think even meat-eaters would find very poignant. I grew up helping my father raise chickens in an industrial poultry operation that was part of a working farm. Raising any kind of farm animals in close quarters with little concern for their well-being (except as connected to the profitability of the product) can, sadly, easily inure one to animal suffering. Moreover, meat for consumption is wrapped ever so neatly, making it often barely recognizable as part of what was once a sentient creature. I will return, however, to facts that affect the areas in which they are raised: the industrial poultry business trashes the areas in which it situated. It discourages talented, innovative people, people who could create and operate productive small businesses, from moving to areas characterized by high concentrations of chicken houses. County Supervisor Robert Crockett was successful in insuring the continued viability of the huge Tyson and Perdue plants; however, he was even more successful in insuring the increased presence of a low-skilled, poorly educated workforce to staff these plants. This workforce and its progeny will continue to exert a high demand for public services. Gresham’s Law is alive and well in Accomack County.
