Walk into Animal Friends today and the first thing you’ll hear won’t be the normal meows and happy howls. You’ll discover a cacophony of cock-a-doodle-doos! (Click here to watch the news coverage, and you’ll hear what we mean!)
As a result, our officers seized 52 chickens, 7 pigeons, 2 ducks and 1 peacock from neglect and unsanitary conditions in a suspected illegal slaughter operation. The animals found safe haven at Animal Friends on Monday night.
The birds arrived dehydrated, covered with lice and in poor health. Sadly, one was dead on arrival and two more had to be humanely euthanized.
Animal Friends’ staff has been working hard to provide round-the-clock care to our rescued charges, who are currently living in oversized crates and clean hay. We believe that the birds, who have been happily digging and settling down to their quarters, are more comfortable now than they have ever been in their lives.
