Monthly Chicken Vigils
Our vigils are planned on the first Friday night of the month. Check our Instagram and Facebook for event information and updates or message us or email us for updated dates and times. At the vigils we bear witness to the suffering of egg-laying hens
by comforting them as much as possible on the trucks they are transported on to a live market in downtown, Los Angeles, named Shang Lee Fresh Poultry Corp, where they will be killed. The chickens are packed into trucks together in small, crowded cages, often without room to move freely. They often arrive broken and deceased due to these traveling conditions. These chickens are usually raised in warehouses without windows, in their waste and that of the chickens before them. After the females mature, their bodies are used to produce countless eggs, which are stolen from them for human consumption even though it causes them extreme stress because they may feel their babies have been taken from them. Even if they determine the eggs aren’t fertilized, most chickens will eat the eggs to replenish their body’s nutrients. After a few years of laying eggs nonstop in inconceivable conditions, they are sent to slaughter when they are no longer deemed profitable. Male chickens, roosters, are also often sent to slaughter as well. For most of these chickens, this will be the first time they see the light of the sun, or breathe fresh air, as they are loaded onto these transport trucks, only to be taken into a dark little slaughterhouse where their lives will be taken from them.
Egg-laying chickens are slaughtered at 2-3 years old.
Broiler hens are killed after an average of 35 days of life.
These chickens could have a life expectancy of 8-10 years.
In the United States upwards of 9 billion chickens are killed per year.
Over 70 billion Chickens are killed per year worldwide.
Please come bear witness to their plight as we offer them what little comfort we can and show the world what is happening to them in this dark slaughterhouse.
If you’re outside of the Los Angeles area, find your closest vigil on the Animal Save Movement Website.

It’s been 4 years since the passing of Regan Russell devastated our worldwide movement. She was an animal rights activist who was tragically killed when a slaughterhouse truck in Burlington, Canada ran her over while she was trying to give water to thirsty pigs on a hot day. Today, we remember her.
We are still seeking justice for Regan’s death. To date, the driver who ran her over was only charged with reckless driving, which is the equivalent of a traffic citation. We will continue to fight for justice and we will continue to fight for other animals in her name!
On June 22, 41 cows escaped through a gate that had accidentally been left open by an employee at Manning Beef.
“The harrowing images of more than 40 terrified cows running for their lives after escaping a slaughterhouse in Los Angeles, California, recently shocked the nation.
A powerful new billboard honors the 39 brave cows that were sadly returned to Manning Beef Slaughterhouse where they were killed, as well as the two cows that were saved and sent to Farm Sanctuary.
The messages to “Remember The Pico Rivera 41” and “Save Animals” are displayed prominently on the billboard, which is located in Pico Rivera, on the corner of Beverly Blvd. and Di Maria Road, near the facility where between 1,500 to 2,000 cows are reportedly slaughtered each week.
The billboard is sponsored by Peace 4 Animals, World Animal News, Animal Alliance Network, The Save Movement, and Farm Sanctuary.” -World Animal News
