Neglect and Abuse at a Local Store

[Age-of-Goositude]

I can't believe the news station wouldn't do a story on it. Can you go to regional humane society? I'm actually not a fan of theirs because of things they have done in my state but they can really get stuff done.

Those animals should not be treated that way.

I messaged them already and let them know

Go somewhere, contact Carolina Water fowl rescue they rescue domestic and wild birds and may know of someone in Washington state who can help.

I will message them today! thanks for the suggestion

I wanted to post to make people aware. A while back I rescued 4 ducklings and 5 goslings from a local hardware store here in Winlock WA. They were in a kiddie pool together, the ducklings double the size of the gosling's, in a layer of poop about two inches thick they had a water dish with brown water not deep enough to clean their face in and it was reported they were being something the size of layer pellets by a few other people and there was other accounts of the place the babies were kept in just how I described and the smell was so much many people left the store. There was obvious bullying and many babies had bald backs and heads. When I pulled them the babies had bumblefoot(staph infection) on their knees, ammonia burns on their feet, bald bellies, crusted noses, caked in poop, some had crusty eyes and redness around the nares, and we're open mouth breathing, here are photos of what was the healthiest gosling. The remaining duckling is almost fully feathered and not showing any respiratory distress' anymore and neither is the gosling who now has shoulder feathers coming in. I tried to tell the town and messaged the better business bureau and corperate and the humane society and animal control and nothing was done and they are still selling animals.

You need to contact attorney general and then you need to contact Peta... the Attorney General must respond back and everything is documented...

Peta is great for spreading the word on people who abuse animals. You need to leave your message on their 1-800 number but they will call you back and ask for photos and you guys can have a dialogue!!

Just Awful! I stopped buying at Tractor Supply because they treat their birds this way. Southern States all the way, they buy chicken pullets, they don't overbuy, and they clean food, water, and bedding wonderfully. They even hire a 'chicken expert' for the 6 months they sell chicks in a year.

That's horrible! Someone else may have mentioned this, but if so I'm not sure. Try the county livestock inspector or maybe the police. Idk of the police could do anything, but if they could at least check it out; then maybe it would scare them into changing things.

What about you tube, stating what store is selling them?
