Is Having Backyard Chickens Necessary?

Is having backyard chickens necessary? First it was toilet paper that people were hoarding, now it’s chickens? Please watch this video I made discussing why raising chickens for our dietary needs is unethical & nonsensical. Surviving during this pandemic doesn’t have to result in the exploitation of another creature.

While at the ARC Conference in D.C., I met with Jewel from the Rooster Sanctuary at Danzig’s Roost. She gave me the real scoop on backyard and local eggs:

Does Plain Soap Kills Viruses. I am not comfortable using Clorox or Lysol or any other strong, toxic chemicals for killing viral germs. So I delved in to learning if basic soaps could be a match for the power of chemicals when killing viruses. Please watch the video to listen and learn what I discovered about gentler cleaners and their strength in killing viruses.

Viruses: Humans, Animals & Karma

Animals, coronavirus, health, pandemic

Deborah DiMare

Viruses: Humans, Animals & Karma. The majority of us are consumed and scared about the spread of this new virus. Our lives, in the blink of an eye, have changed. Our routines have changed, we are hiding in our homes. We no longer hug or kiss our friends and family. Every aspect of our life has changed.

I believe that every action has a reaction. Karma exists and is real. The manner in which we have treated and continue to treat animals is despicable. It appears to be time for “payback.” Our inhumane, unimaginable behavior is killing us, literally. If this isn’t a wake up call to stop killing animals so we can eat them or rob them of their skins, then I don’t know what is. We can no longer hide behind the curtain of ignorance. We know the dark side of what goes on in factory farming. We also know the horrible outcome for animals and for humans.
