Don't Forget November Submissions! (+ Contest)

Bird & Egg Contest


:sun:Don't forget to submit your animal-related art to the November collection!:sun:

Because of a low number of entries, the contest deadline has been extended to December 7th. Please consider participating! Also, we're still looking for people to feature the winners. Be active, for the animals! :XD:

"Behind the vast majority of every "incredible edible" egg sold in grocery stores today is a hen so intensively confined inside a wire battery cage, she can barely even move.
With just 67 square inches of space in which to live, she can't even flap her wings, let alone build a nest, perch, dust bathe, or perform many other natural behaviors.

...At the end of the laying period, the hens are flung from the battery to the transport cages by their wings, legs, head, feet, or whatever is grabbed. Many bones are broken. Chicken "stuffers" are paid for speed, not gentleness. Half-naked from feather loss and terrorized by a lifetime of abuse, hens in transit embody a state of fear so severe that many are paralyzed by the time they reach the slaughterhouse."

</b>PS: In the "submit your art" section of the journal, you may have noticed that the link that said "send a note" had the recipient blank filled out with the name of another animal club. I think this may have been some kind of glitch, as I specifically remember typing out "animal-love-club" when doing the html... (mysterious, I know.) But it has been fixed! Sorry for any confusion it may have caused!
