United Poultry Concerns is pleased and deeply honored to
announce that the November 14, 1999 Washington Post article, "For The
Birds," by Tamara Jones, has won the Fourteenth Annual Genesis Award for
Outstanding National Newspaper Feature. Ark Trust President Gretchen
Wyler wrote to Tamara Jones in a letter announcing her achievement,
"Having monitored the attention given to the many subjects of animal
abuse over these fourteen years, we feel there is no doubt that "For The
Birds" is unprecedented in its prominence, the space afforded and the
dynamics of the writing. Having chosen to profile the courage and
commitment of Karen Davis as the focal point of your article, you
exposed the reader to the truth about this rapidly expanding cruel big
business."
For 14 years, the Genesis Awards have acknowledged
select members of the news and entertainment media for exemplary
accomplishment in spotlighting animal issues with creativity and
integrity. The Fourteenth Annual Genesis Awards, for works released in
1999, will be presented at a star-studded ceremony hosted by The Ark
Trust, in the International Ballroom of The Beverly Hilton hotel in
Beverly Hills, California on Saturday evening, March 18, hosted by David
Hyde Pierce ("Frasier") and Wendie Malick ("Just Shoot Me"). The
nation's premiere consciousness-raiser on animal issues, this year's
awards will be bestowed by a host of celebrity presenters, and taped for
television. For 8 years the Genesis Awards ceremony has aired as a
90-minute special on the Discovery Channel and is now shown on
Discovery's Animal Planet.
United Poultry Concerns wishes to take this opportunity
to congratulate and to thank Tamara Jones of The Washington Post and to
thank Gretchen Wyler and The Ark Trust for this great tribute and honor.
Thank you.
