First of all, congratulations are in order. Bones won a Genesis Award this year for the episode centering on the chicken farm and the conditions for the animals there. The Genesis Awards honor shows, movies and people who bring awareness to animal issues. I had a feeling they would win with that episode. It was a great one!

I’m thrilled to let you know that Bones has been nminated for a Genesis Award this year.

As you may know, the Genesis Awards are to recognize various TV shows, movies, books, etc. that further awareness of animal issues. The awards are given by the Humane Society of America. I know that Emily Deschanel must be vry proud that Bones has been nominated again for this prestigious award, given her passion for animal rights.

The episode of Bones that’s nominated this year is The Tough Man in the Tender Chicken. That’s the episode that showed the conditions in the chicken industry. I’m not surprised that they are honoring that episode. It was a great one. There are only two series in contention for the award in their category this year, so it’s a 50-50 chance that they will win.

Here are the nominations in their category:
