Yesterday in the North Carolina Court of Appeals in Raleigh, three amicus briefs were offered in support of Legal Impact for Chickens'
lawsuit against KFC-supplier Case Farms for cruelty toward newborn chicks.
These amicus briefs were submitted by farming groups, nonprofits, and veterinarians-including the Northeast Organic Dairy Producers Alliance and Asheville-based Dr. Laura Cochrane, DVM-and written by attorneys including former North Carolina Appellate Judge Lucy Inman.
"Defendants' alleged conduct is not only unethical, but completely contrary to the professional standards of modern poultry farming," say
Food Animal Concerns Trust,
Northeast Organic Dairy Producers Alliance, and
The Cornucopia Institute in
their brief, written by former North Carolina Appellate Judge Lucy Inman.
Beautiful Together Animal Sanctuary's
brief states, "Legal Impact for Chicken's complaint alleges shocking atrocities that, if committed against a dog or cat, would merit universal condemnation."
"North Carolina takes animal cruelty seriously," states brief by veterinarians
Dr. Laura Cochrane and
Dr. Martha Smith-Blackmore, and
DEGA Mobile Veterinary Care, a nonprofit that helps North Carolina pets with low- or no-income owners.
