United Poultry Concerns (UPC) has put up 220 Display Cards stating "Life Can Be Beautiful - Go Vegan!" in Metrorail Cars throughout the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area. The cards, placed by CBS Outdoor to run from mid-April to the middle of May, show a man expressing kindness to a rooster at UPC's sanctuary in Virginia.

UPC President Karen Davis published the following Comment in the Internet letters section of The Independent, a popular newspaper in the United Kingdom. It is a response to what The Independent called “the distressing and unnatural conditions endured by Britain’s 800 million ‘broiler’ chickens” documented in a new video by Compassion in World Farming.

At the same time as these revelations appeared, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals published a video of Tyson workers at a U.S. slaughter plant in 2007 urinating on live chickens and other vicious behaviors. It is time for the humane people of the world to abandon animal-based diets and choose to eat compassionately. Leave “pee pee” steps to baby chicks – take a GIANT STEP!
