Before I address criteria in the decision-making process regarding speakers at the WORLD VEGAN SUMMIT & EXPO and why I feel that UPC is an inappropriate choice at this time, I would first like to ask that Karen Davis retract the following, as she attributes statements to me that I have never made. I first ask that she be truthful and set the record straight …”To Bob Linden and Gary Francione – I realize that your hatred and rejection of me and United Poultry Concerns are implacable; however, I share this Statement with you so that you are aware of it. I am copying my Statement to a few other people so that they are aware of your rejection of me and United Poultry Concerns as “not vegan enough,” as “welfarist” sellouts, as a mere opportunistic fundraiser organization that uses the suffering of chickens and turkeys to garner donations and enrich our pockets, and other unjust and inaccurate characterizations of me and United Poultry Concerns.”
