Redwing Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I'd be very surprised if it wasnt activists Very few common theives or vandals would know how to affect the air supply surely? Poor things, how awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Poor little things. Some of the sheds OH goes in every night are in a poor state of repair/condition so it may have possibly been quite easy to tamper with wires etc. I can't see why animal activists would want to cause suffering though?....

JS1 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Just read that story before I came on the site - so, so sad. Surely acitivists wouldn't want to sacrifice the birds, though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clootie Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 having read the replies I can't bear to look at the story, RIP little ones, I am so sorry humans can be so cruel I couldn't read it either.

henriette Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I have no understanding at all for anyone who can cause that sort of pain and suffering to animals. Nor to humans, for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chick wiggle Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Oh those poor poor little things. Having just spent most of today playing with and cuddling mine, it just breaks my heart to read about the terrible suffering they most have gone through - words just fail me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Showed this to OH and he said this should not have happened. Sheds should be alarmed if this occurs and then a back up generator comes on automatically. Either the system was completely tampered with, or they never had a system installed like this in the first place which seems highly unlikely in a house of that size.

cluckingmad Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Poor little souls Sadly does have all the hallmarks of animal rights activists tho'. I'm afriad I have an extremely low opinion of so-called animal rights activists - most of them are just thugs who want to cause damage, folk who REALLY are concerned about animal welfare don't do things like this - they rehome animals and work WITH the farmers to make sure the animal care and welfare is paramount. Peolpe who do things like this should be ashamed of themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
