International Respect for Chickens Day

(Title changed because this thing is taking off in all directions).

I'm on the mailing list of a magazine called Poultry Press. It's published by a group seeking to liberate chickens from factory farms.

In the magazine, I notice that May 4 is International Respect for Chickens Day.

I'm not making this up, and I'm not doing this to poke fun at people who commiserate with the sufferings of poultry in factory farms.

It would make for some interesting news stories if anyone bites.
