Salop Chuck Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hi everyone Being a sucker for animal welfare appeals I received this one today about an anonymous tip that led to 50,000 laying hens in California that had been abandoned in their cramped cages to die of starvation just because the owner of the poultry business had 'run out of money' to feed them!! Having been without food or water for neary two weeks many of the hens had already died while others were in such a bad way that they had to be euthanized. The remaining hens have been re-homed and are now enjoying their new life in various animal sancturies. Here's the appeal addressed to Stanislaus County District Attorney to pursue the matter and prosecute the owner. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/4/get-justice-for-nearly-50000-abandoned-hens/ Thank you for reading this.
