Virgil Butler used to kill chickens for a living. Now he's blogging to save their lives. Once deemed "the best chicken killer in Arkansas," Butler quit his job in 2002, coming forward with detailed recollections of extraordinary abuse and everyday cruelty at the poultry factory. <!--break--> <p>His weblog, or "blog," has drawn national media attention to the deprivations endured by people, animals, and the environment in the impoverished rural regions where the meat industries locate most of their operations.</p><p>On August 6, starting at 9 AM, Virgil and his partner Laura Alexander will be participating in the annual Blogathon for charity. They will be required to post a blog entry every half hour for 24 hours. They have selected the Eastern Shore Sanctuary as the non-profit organization to which their Blogathon sponsors will contribute.</p><p>The "hot topic" about which Virgil and Laura will be blogging is factory farming. By participating, they hope to spread the bad news about meat, dairy and eggs to people who have not yet been exposed to such information. They chose the Eastern Shore Sanctuary as their designated charity because we are a small sanctuary located in an impoverished rural region dominated by the poultry industry. According to Virgil, they also appreciate our efforts "to show the underlyng reasons this horror happens and the many parallels to<br />it, like sexism, and why society allows something as horrific as factory farming to happen without questioning it."</p><p>To sponsor Virgil in the Blogathon, visit:</p><p><a href="http://www.blogathon.org/blogathon.php?campaign&id=196"><u><font color="#0000ff">http://www.blogathon.org/blogathon.php?campaign&id=196</font></u></a></p><p>You will need to register before you will be able to see the form for making a pledge. The minimum pledge is just a dollar.</p><p>Still living in Arkansas and often harassed by local authorities angry about his activism, Virgil hasn't been able to find a steady job since quitting the poultry plant. That makes the donation of his time to raise money for our sanctuary all the more meaningful.
