Chicken Transport

Siler City, North Carolina. March 21, 2014
I drove behind this truck for a half-hour, thinking about the lives of these chickens, and about the role that each of us plays in our food system: farm workers, truck drivers, slaughter plant workers, big corporations, lawmakers, consumers, activists...
I was particularly moved by the bird seen here with his head sticking through the bars of the cage. I intend for this video to be a memorial for him and all the others, and also as a plea to all chicken-eaters to go meat-free whenever possible.
