Georgia’s Story: Born With An Expiry Date
Time: 11:30am
I will speak about the little-understood genetic burden carried by every egg-laying hen, how this affects them, and what I am doing to bring awareness to the catastrophic reproductive system failure from which they suffer. I will live up to a promise I made to my friend Georgia when she died to tell her story; how we made her live, how hard she fought for her life, and why she died.
