May 4th is National respect for chickens day!
Im looking forward to it, last year things didnt go so well in my plans for National Respect for Chickens day. But this year will be better! Im planning on showing the movie Chicken Run at my local library! Of course Ill have ymmy vegan snacks to share. :)>>>
So far Im planning on having popcorn and cookies. Do you think sugar cookies cut into the shape of a chicken propetuates the idea that chickens are for eating? or do you think it would be okay? I have a cute little chicken shaped cookie cutter.
I also considered making mini mock chiken-pot pie (in cupcake tins) .You know how the chickens didn't want o be made into pies? But Im not sure that will be doable, becasue of not haiving an oven anymore. Id have to cook them all in tiny batches in my toaster oven. What d you guys think?
Anyone doing anything for this day?
*edit* opps, I put the wrong date, it is really the 4th, a Sunday.
My chorus musical is that day. It's not about chickens, but it is about having good character...which to me, kinda means not eating chickens... 8-)
hmm.. :( i think the most realistic thing i can do that day is just to not eat chicken... which i don't do anyway. maybe i'll make dinner for my family, since they pretty much eat chicken on a daily basis.
I should organize a KFC protest for that day! That would be awesome :) Thanks for letting us know about the date Zealia! I think the mock chicken pies sound great! maybe for the cookies you could find a carrot shaped cookie cutter! Get them to think that vegi's=yummy!
I just spoke with the owner of the "local"* vegan resturaunt and told her what I was planning...and I told her I burnt my stove nearly to the ground, could I bake in the store's oven? She has aggreed to let me do my baking there!!! Yeah! So I'll just make them ahead of time and bring them to the library!
*local meaning only 50 minuets away ;)
Capature, good luck with the protest planning! You have friends who will do it with you?
And Sariea, I think making dinner for your family would be a perfect idea. One less chicken being eaten, right? Go for it!

That's awesome Zealia! and yes--I have a whole gang of people who will come out for one--if you tell PETA when and where you are doing it they will send out an email message to everyon within a 50 mile radius so sometime you get a ton ofpeople to show up!!!
Well my chickens said that every day is respect the chicken day BOK BOK!
But they are planning a huge Cinco de Chicken Day party. ;D

This whole post made me chuckle and smile :)
If there is a National Respect for Cats day, don't let my felines get wind of it--their cattitudes are strong enough as it is ::)
Justa friendly reminder! Im still planning on showing Chicken run, are you guys able to do the protest or the dinner for family things? Youll have to let me know how those go!

I have the protest organized for Saturday--since I couldn't get anyone for sunday--but we are still doing it--just a day early ;)b Should be a good time--hope we don't get rained out!
Protest went as planned! Only 3 of us showed up--but every lit bit helps! The weather cooperated and it ended up being a really beautiful day!

my activity was a bomb. :-\ I made 3 pot pies, a few dozen cookies and brought all the books and the movie chicken run to the library. Not a single, solitary person showed up. Bummer. I had posters up all over town.

Awwww! I'm sorry Zealia--I was with you in spirit! As you can tell my function didn't attract too much attention either--but at least we tried! Somehow it makes a difference! :iloveyou:
