No matter what the organization, even non religious ones there is strength in numbers and people get a bad feeling that they are accused of being wrong about their views or what ever. If every one in an area had Hereford cattle and right in the middle of them someone sold out his Hereford cattle for Aberdeen Angus I'm sure there would be negative sentiment toward him. Maybe even could happen with chicken breeds in the right areas.
Just reading this makes me angry! The dog probably didn't even know kindness.I used to be with the Humane Society. One day back in the 90's I was parked outside a home waiting for Austin to finish up piano lessons. I noticed a couple of ladies visiting with a lab looking dog walking around them. All of a sudden I hear a man yelling at the dog to .. come here! The dog immediately went and stood by one of the women with its head down. The man started yelling more, taking steps toward the dog and pointing to the ground..come! Get over here! Dog cowards more so. Finally he got to the dog, grabbed his collar and picked his whole front end up dragging him towards home. I jumped our of my car and yelled at him. Hey! Stop dragging him! No wonder that dog won't come to you. Of course he got mad at me..still holding the dog up by the collar who by this time was choking and gagging. I said put him down, your choking him. He says things..I'm not hearing ..I'm just livid. I then tell him I'm with the Humae Society and if doesn't put him down I'll be calling authorities. He's in front of his house, let's the dog down, yells at him to get in there, pointing to the garage. Dog hurries into the garage. The man following.
Concerning the chicken breeds. I have Cubalaya, I must have a knack with them because if I don't prevent them from propagating they'll breed almost like rats. Every person so far, usually amish people have taken some and have no success with them at all. I have on several occasions taken a pair of proven broody hens and given them to these people to up the odds of them being able to raise them, all to no avail. They just can't seem to get the hens to be broody. I take those same hens back and they'll be broody and hatch chicks at least twice a year.
I'm sorry you have to deal with this but ... the Bible says it would happen.
A fenced yard would be ideal and would meet pen criteria. We are renting and have requested a fenced in yard but were denied it.
This is sad.
Ice it, Larry. 15 minutes on, 15 minutes off. Wrap the ice in cloth.
