mullethunter Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 What's wrong with people? How could that even possibly have been worth beating someone up for?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Utterly senseless and pointless crime by useless people Hope the nigh"Ooops, word censored!"chman is recovering well, poor lad. click here for article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Not good at all. All this theft going on. All the farmers losing sheep in huge quantities through rustling, people's birds being stolen and now this poor lad. Hope he recovers quickly.

percy049 Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 This just makes me so angry Apparently, they also held the guy at knife point and threatened to shoot him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavenders_Blue Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I saw this on Facebook. Absolutely dreadful. How can people sink so low? Jo Eglen is considering giving up the rescue - I really hope she doesn't as they do such wonderful work (all my ex batts are from LHR) but I completely understand why she might take this decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 That's terrible . I hope they catch the creeps that did it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken shack Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I have been away from here for some time. Life gets in the way sometimes. When I first moved to Norfolk 3 years ago today I homed 3 ex batts from Jo LHR in the October. Sadly they are no longer with me but they all had a good year of being free. When I collected them I became very emotional, something I didn't expect to happen. I now have 8 girls I have re homed from various places and still have one original lady who moved with us her age I have no idea and she hasn't laid an egg since last year I really hope that Jo can carry on her good work. I along with many have donated. If anyone on here wants to donate just go to the Little Hen Rescue web site and scroll down. You can donate via paypal.

WitchHazel Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 sadly the web site doesn't seem to be available any more I found the Little Hen Rescue facebook page and trawled through te pages to see whether Jo had made a decision to close. She had been thinking about it after the robbery, of course. It isn't closing. On 11 Sept Jo posted the following: Hello People.. Thanks for your ongoing support, I really appreciate it. I'm sorry I haven't been online much, having a small meltdown.. We are all ok, little hens has all new locks and bolts. Have a fantastic new staff member working there now who has taken a huge load off me xx The website is down at the moment but once I figure out how to change the domain name over again, it'll be back on! The old one wants to much money. So hopefully good news! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percy049 Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Jo posted this about an hour ago on the LHR Facebook page: "Sadly Little Hen Rescue has to close. Animals have been rehomed to PACT ANIMAL SANCTUARY. Any money donated will be forwarded to them. I'm afraid after the last armed robbery, LHR cannot continue. I am thankful for your support in the years we have been open. I will be having a yard sale to continue to raise more money. LHR Facebook will continue to run as it's become its own little community. I thank all my supporters, Rehomers and volunteers." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 That is so sad. Particularly as the victims have been made to suffer even more - with little or no deterrent to punish the baddies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
