The story is true, I am confused and heartbroken, and can't figure out way someone would do this. We got home from NYC, just before the blizzard. As soon as I pulled up my driveway, my husband and I went get them to put them in the coop-barn thing that they live in. We could not find them, the snow was light at the time, we spent most of the day looking for them. And the next day. I came to the conclusion that were lost in snow, and maybe didn't survive. we looked again today, and that's when my neighbor saw my husband and said "I have your effin chickens-they heard me looking for them the night of the blizzard-they knew I was upset-why not a note on the fence or my door-call the cops-something to let me know that he had them. He would not let my husband get them. Instead he grabs them by the legs-turns them upside down and throws them into street. And goes back in house as my husband gathers them up. As soon as I got wind-I called the police, filed a report. I had another bad expeirence with the wife-she works for the Franklin Lakes Animal Hospital in Bergen County NJ. One of my geese was attacked by a bear, my 7 year old son was hysterical. We asked her help-the vet thing-figured she'd know what to. I get "I hate birds" from her-cold, uncompassionate. Now they have 3 chickens, and they do get in my yard from time to time, I have never treated them that way, I would walk them to the front of their yard. They say they were keeping them safe-but throwing them into street, and not telling me that they had them?? Just a sick game?? I will try to get the right service tomorrow to report this as animal abuse. Would anyone know in Northern NJ-where I should go??
That is after I do the police thing...........
