Meet Omen: The Chicken Who Got Away!

Omen was rescued moments before slaughter and is now living her best life at Rowdy Girl Sanctuary. She was considered a “spent hen” and was destined for slaughter at one of the largest chicken slaughterhouses for her meat. Normally chickens destined for slaughter are only 5-7 weeks old so that their meat is tender. Omen’s meat would not naturally be tender so it would have been treated with salt and water until the meat became tender. Sellers of meat alter their products to make a sell.  Everyday there are advertisements for chicken products which normalizes the violent death of these sentient creatures. Omen is truly an omen of hope for change for all of these sentient creatures to “have a chance to live their lives free from exploitation, torture, and death. Well said Renee! Thank you and Ryuji for saving this precious creatures life!
