Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Karen Davis discuss the following:You just were a panelist in New York talking about Where Did Our Compassion Go?
Children, Adults and the Loss of the Human-Animal Bond and you wrote a book review on a similar subject – the emotional lives of animals and children. This is a very important subject. Can you tell us more about it?What happens between childhood and adulthood that causes most children to outgrow their primal delight in and empathy with animals and become detached, callous and indifferent toward them? You regard farmed animal sanctuaries as vitally important for the animals, the caregivers and the public, who otherwise have little or no way of meeting and learning about chickens, turkeys, cows, pigs, goats and other animals. Can you explain your thoughts about that?Your review of William Crane’s book, The Emotional Lives of Animals and Children includes the thoughts of educators, psycho-analysts and ethologists. Would you recommend this book for parents?
Duration:19:00
KAREN DAVIS, PhD is the founder and president of United Poultry Concerns, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the compassionate and
respectful treatment of domestic fowl. Founded in 1990, United Poultry

“From Hunting Grounds to Chicken Rights: My Story in an Eggshell,” in
Sister Species: Women, Animals, and Social Justice (University of
Illinois Press). Her contribution, “Birds Used in Food Production,”

Justice Approach to Liberation (Peter Lang, 2014). Karen’s chapter,
“Anthropomorphic Visions of Chickens Bred for Human Consumption,” in
Critical Animal Studies: Thinking the Unthinkable (Canadian Scholars’

mutilated forms of existence as an endeavor not only of the poultry
industry, but as a “welfare improvement” strategy endorsed by elements
of the so-called animal protection movement.

a project of United Poultry Concerns comprising people who seek to
replace the cruel practice of swinging and slaughtering chickens in
Kaporos rituals with money or other non-animal symbols of atonement. On
October 9, 2010, Pulitzer Prizewinning photojournalist Carol Guzy
published “An ancient tradition draws protests” in the online edition of
The Washington Post, prompted by the Alliance’s Rally to End Chickens
as Kaporos, on September 12, 2010, in Brooklyn, NY (www.endchickensaskaporos.com/101011wpost.html).
Karen's work is prominently featured in the National Museum of
Animals & Society’s online exhibit “Un-Cooped: Deconstructing the
