Dear friends

We are now only one week away from rescuing caged hens and with over a thousand girls going to slaughter this is their very last chance of salvation. If we don't have homes lined up for them, we can't save them. So, we are desperately looking for anyone who has space in their coops and are able to offer a home to some girls.
The hens being rescued next week are from a colony cage farm system.

The girls have so far spent their lives inside cages and have never experienced the outdoors, we are determined to save as many as we can but we can only do this with your support. Please, if you are able to offer a home to some hens let us know and meet us at one of the collection points below. 

Dumfries Head-quarters - Friday 19th May
Falkirk - Saturday 20th May
Galashiels - Sunday 21st May
Ayr - Wednesday 24th May
Hexham - Thursday 25th May
Carlisle - Friday 26th May
Aberdeen - Saturday 27th May
Newton Stewart -  Sunday 28th May

the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, loving concern.
