CSI Thursday looks at chicken slaughter - please watch and comment -- 12/7/06

[Guest guest]

CBS's hit television drama, CSI, has been honored in the past by the

Genesis Awards for its animal friendly story lines, including one

exposing the horror of canned hunts involving retired zoo animals. (See

to learn about the Genesis Awards.) The show has submitted the

episode due to air this Thursday, December 7, at 9pm ET/PT, for

Genesis Award consideration.

 

The storyline includes the murder of a chicken slaughterhouse

employee and of a rock star who targeted the chicken company's

inhumane practices in a PSA. Footage taken at chicken slaughterhouses

is set to be aired.

 

The producers tells us the show highlights not only the way chickens

are killed but also how they are treated while alive. It has the

potential to educated millions of viewers who tune in to CSI every week.

Watch it if you can. And assuming, as promised, it shines a spotlight

on the dark chicken industry, please, after it has aired, show your

appreciation with a quick comment to the station. The show is going

out on a limb, and public support, positive feedback, matters.

 

To comment, go to

http://www.cbs.com/info/user_services/fb_global_form.shtml and from

the pull-down menu next to " Regarding: " , choose " CSI: Crime Scene

Investigation. "

 

Please make your thank you brief, heartfelt, and in your own words.

Appreciative feedback from individual viewers who care about animals

(as opposed to a wave of almost identical email that clearly comes

from an activist group) is the most meaningful to the media.

 

Yours and the animals',

Karen Dawn
