January’s Rescue of the Month (Photos)

Published by Caitlin Kustes.

Little Daphna, January’s gorgeous calendar girl, was rescued by a PETA staffer whose neighbors had moved away and abandoned Little Daphna and another chicken. Both were being used for their eggs. Little Daphna’s friend was mauled to death by a dog, and the PETA staffer immediately intervened to save Little Daphna from the same fate.

Now Little Daphna enjoys life on a sprawling farm, pecking around in the woods and relaxing on a large sunny patch of grass with her new boyfriend—a rescued rooster!

Don’t want to harm a bird like Daphna? Go vegan and replace eggs in your favorite recipes! You can also download your own desktop-wallpaper calendar images at PETA.org or check out PETA’s 2013 “Rescued” calendar for more inspiring stories.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”

— Ingrid E. Newkirk, PETA President and co-author of Animalkind
