In a letter to the editor of Vegan Voice magazine, the president of United Poultry Concerns says philosopher Peter Singer's belittlement of chickens is unfair and that Gallus domesticus suffers as much horror every day as those who died in the 9/11 terror attacks.
"I think it is speciesist to think that the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center was a greater tragedy than what millions of chickens endured that day and what they endure every day because [u]they cannot defend themselves[/u] against the concerted human appetites arrayed against them," writes Karen Davis, Ph.D., president of the chicken rights group.
Davis describes the horror heaped on chickens every night, when "men who are cursing and yelling at them" rouse them from their peaceful slumber for their journey to the slaughterhouse and the "next wave of human terror attacks on them.
"For 35 million chickens in the United States alone, every single night is a terrorist attack," she says.
