This planet is theirs too. Thanks Marji, for speaking for those who have no human language……

@Shannon: Thank you for sharing it.

@The Voracious Vegan: You are very kind. It’s been more than five years since I helped rescue those hens, including Sarah, and I still cry when I think of that sad, sad place…repeated hundreds of times over across this country.

@Kathi: Thank you! We called them the Sacramento kids (the hens and chicks from the fight bust) – I’m so glad to hear they are doing well!

Marji, the voice you give for the other beings here is truly amazing. I am so glad that I have rescued chickens and ducks, my oldest being somewhere around 13. The youngest came from Animal Place and were from a fighting flock. All happy and enjoying the upcoming spring.

Oh I can’t stop crying. Really, you’ve broken my heart and made me happy all at the same time. I am so glad that for Sarah there was a happy ending. What a beautiful, amazing post. THANK YOU FOR THIS. I wish everyone would read it and go vegan.

This is beautiful–thank you so much! I posted it on Facebook. Hopefully many people will read it since the entire State of Maryland is snowed in. :)

Hi all – thanks for the responses, i appreciate it. I think my actual message, or what motivated me to write anything at all, may not have come over clearly. So… What I meant was… I found Marji’s story so touching, and I felt so emotional after I’d read it, and it made me really sad that such a beautiful account of cruelty and rescue would never be appreciated by a single one of my friends… they just won’t/can’t go there! And that’s just sad for me! I know that it’s ‘out there’, and I want it to be out there – I was just talking on a personal level and lamenting the fact that my circle of friends shut me up when I have anything to say about what is on my heart.

@Biddy: There isn’t any harm in sharing it, though. This is out there. It’s in search engines, it’s put up on facebook or other social networking devices. You have an opportunity to participate as well. Give your meat-eating friends some credit – there’s a reason you’re friends with them. Even if it’s as simple as printing this out and giving it to them, you’ve done something for the animals. That they may not take heed and magically go vegan isn’t unsurprising, but all we can do is plant seeds and do OUR due diligence in educating people…if it’s something we care a lot about, of course.

@Jennie: Thanks. I understand I have a receptive audience here. I don’t have any other opportunity to put up these types of posts to a broader audience. So I can only hope people reading – if they like it – will share it with others. :)

@Bea: Aren’t they delightful?!? I love chickens a lot, and it is overwhelming to watch these freed birds learn how to be a chicken again…or more appropriately, they can access all those desires and wants and actually act upon them! It sounds like you have a wonderful flock of happy ladies!

Hi Marji! I have been priviledged to provide a home for a small flock of factory farm refugees too. Their first few days of freedom were indeed just as you described. Reading what they endured before hand really fills in the blanks for me… In a very personal way.

Although I know they are happy now… What mutilations have been done to them still has it’s negative impacts. They can’t quite preen or eat as normally as they would have… Because their beaks are so short, their nostrils wind up blocked or dirty from when they hunt and forage. It’s always a visual reminder of what nature really had intended for them… :(

But dusk is a particularly satisfying time for me, as I watch them one by one fly up to their safe place for the night. It’s never without argument… Each one vies for “their own” favorite spot. And though they fuss, peck and “fight”, within minutes they settle down, snuggled with who they want to be next to… I hear them softly coo – “Goodnight Ruth. Goodnight Ginger. Goodnight Chicklett…” This is their world – And no one should be deprived the living of it.
