Chicken Rescue from Mississippi

Sep 17, 2005 20:51

Yesterday, 100 "peepers" (aka broiler chickens) arrived at SFO (San Francisco International Airport) for their final trip to the sanctuary. They come from Mississippi - Farm Sanctuary, Animal Place and some members from HSUS went to the region, looking for farmed animals. They found one farm with thousands of birds still alive nearly two weeks ( Read more... )

I will try and post some pictures of the little babies this week - they are so very cute. And then you can at least see 'em, even if it isn't in person. :)

They are pretty neat. Before working at Animal Place, I never had an opinion on chickens (having never known any). They are one of the more fascinating creatures I have encountered.

I'm glad! I think we need to hear some of the positive stories more often.

Ijust spent last night crying over the rescue footage at HSUS.... and this makes me so happy to read! I also support Animal Place so I'm doubly happy that maybe my moola will help those chickens! THANK YOU for rescuing them!

I am so glad! Your money will definitely be going towards the chickens - we are in chicken heaven right now, so a lot of our funds are helping feed and care for the precious girls (and boys).
