For thirty years, Karen Davis has been advocating for, writing about, and studying the world of chickens and other domesticated fowl. As the founder and director of United Poultry Concerns, Davis has done more than perhaps anyone to reveal the complex and socially rich lives of birds. Her writing--intellectually rigorous, passionate, erudite, and witty--brings fully to the fore the great injustices we have perpetrated on these intelligent and loving creatures. For the Birds showcases Davis's three decades of popular and academic work. She tells the story of how she became an advocate and the many individual birds she has known and whose lives and deaths have deepened her commitment to seeking their freedom from suffering. Stirring, provocative, and brilliantly written, For the Birds illuminates one woman's enduring quest to change our perceptions of those animals we routinely confine, abuse, and kill by the billions.

Back in the '90's, life was going just fine for young Karen. From a small town in Wyoming, her family knew just about everyone. It was a safer time to live back then, and she and her siblings played outside all day. She knew just about everyone in her neighborhood, and there were many kids around her age to play with. They would ride their bikes around the dirt road, swing on the set that was nearby and have water fights in the yard. She lived a happy, normal life; until she started to experience some strange things with her body. Concerned, her parents took her to doctors as time went on, but the doctors didn't seem too concerned, giving such excuses as puberty and growing up. Any tests they did were coming back normal, so there was no need to worry. Mom worried anyway, and after Karen started losing her eyesight, the lame explanations weren't going to cut it anymore! Mom needed answers! Karen has always wanted to share her story with any who would listen. She wrote this short memoir to support and inspire those who also might find themselves in difficult situations. She also wrote to hopefully entertain a bit, as she shared what she was thinking as a 12-year-old girl. This has been a long road for her, as she used notes she'd written down over the years, as well as a journal kept by her mom.

Die individuellen Persönlichkeiten von Hühnern; ein Nashorn, das sein Leben lang immer wieder einen Menschen besucht, um gemeinsam Zeit zu verbringen; eine unerwartete Begegnung zwischen einer Katze und einem Vogel; Hunde, die in einer zukünftigen Welt ihre Gemeinschaft durch Geschichten strukturieren, die sie einander erzählen. Begegnungen mit (anderen) Tieren versammelt literarische, wissenschaftliche und essayistische Texte zu ungewöhnlichen Begegnungen zwischen Tieren und Menschen – mal in stärker interagierender, mal mehr in beobachtender Rolle –, denen gemeinsam ist, dass sie neue Formen der Wahrnehmung, von Offenheit und Empathie ermöglichen, einfordern und damit unser gewohntes Denken, unsere Ordnung der Dinge in Frage stellen. Tiere erscheinen als soziale Wesen miteinander und mit Menschen, die sie, wie die Autor*innen, als eigenständige Subjekte ernst nehmen. Die Texte geben Einblicke in das soziale und kulturelle Leben von Pavianen und Raben oder berichten von der sprachlosen Kommunikation mit Waschbären und Nabelschweinen, vom Lachen mit Delfinen, und nicht zuletzt davon, wie sich Menschen in diesen Begegnungen mit (anderen) Tieren selbst verändern. Die Anthologie versammelt Texte aus den letzten 30 Jahren von zumeist US-amerikanischen Autor*innen in der Übersetzung von Susanne Opfermann: Kurzgeschichten von Kij Johnson, Ursula K. Le Guin und Gregory Blake Smith; Erlebnisberichte von Craig Childs, Barbara Kingsolver, Anna Merz und Stacy Young; und wissenschaftliche Texte von Karen Davis, Toni G. Frohoff und Barbara Smuts. Die unterschiedlichen Genres ergänzen und kommentieren einander; verbindend sind die besonderen, unterhaltsamen und nachdenklichen Erfahrungen von Begegnung, die sie vermitteln. Sie schaffen ungewöhnliche Perspektiven darauf, was wir von anderen Tieren lernen und wie wir gemeinsam in unserer nicht-nur-menschlichen Welt (über-)leben können.
