S.O.S Meeting
Join us for a viewing of a short version (25 min.) of the documentary Fowl Play. The film takes viewers on an unforgettable journey behind the closed doors of some of the country's largest egg production facilities and reveals the heartbreaking plight of laying hens — perhaps the most abused and exploited animal on earth. Connecting the dots between consumer demand for meat, dairy and eggs and the perpetuation of animal abuse, Fowl Play leaves viewers with a groundbreaking message of personal responsibility and the potential each of us holds to change the world — one meal at a time.
