Chickens Need Protection Too!

Chickens are the most abused animals on the planet. They are cruelly raised in factory farms and barbarically killed in slaughterhouses. We need your help to convince the government to protect chickens under the Humane Slaughter Act, which would at least spare them from some of the worst abuses that they suffer at the slaughterhouse.

Each year, more than 9 billion chickens in the U.S. are raised in factory farms and killed in slaughterhouses. In factory farms, birds are kept by the tens of thousands in filthy, windowless sheds, and at only 6 weeks of age, they are slammed into metal cages and trucked through all weather extremes to the slaughterhouse. The government does not protect chickens under the Humane Slaughter Act (HSA), which means that many chickens have their throats slit while they are still conscious—and some are even scalded to death in defeathering tanks. Even though this abuse is legal, we all know it's clearly cruel!

You can help protect these birds from cruelty and needless suffering in slaughterhouses by sending this letter to government officials asking them to protect chickens under the HSA.

Personalized letters always work best. Feel free to use the following text, but your message will carry more weight if you write your own customized message and subject line.

The Traveling Nugget Game
  About the Game
  We want you to send the nugget of your choice on a worldwide tour to collect signatures on a petition asking the government to spare chickens from the worst abuses they suffer in slaughterhouses by protecting them under the Humane Slaughter Act. Chickens make up 96 percent of all land animals killed for food and are the most abused animals on the planet. All you have to do to help them is send your nugget to all your friends, ask them to send your nugget to all their friends, and so on. If you can get your nugget to visit and collect postcards from all 50 states as well as the U.K. and Canadian provinces, you can enter to win a "Traveling Nugget" prize pack—which includes an iPod shuffle and some cool nugget gear! To get started, simply click "PLAY NOW" under "New Players" to the right! Good luck!
