Some people's easter parties *sigh*

[cochunk]

how cruel of those people, getting several chicks, ducklings and bunnies during easter just because they are cute and fuzzy, then tossing them out the next day, makes me sick.

that is just so mean. I am so glad there are people like you to rescue them. It breaks my heart to think of the innocent little babies dying for no good reason except ignorance. what if you suggest to them to have someone who could bring their own babies to teach the kids about them that could care for them while they are there? maybe.... you?

We had a town hall that hosted an Easter egg hunt every few years and had this issue as well. My DH hated when it came around. "But honey, they were in trouble and needed rescued! After all i need a few new babies to add to the flock, and she's broody and needs babies!"

worked every time until DH became friends with the township trustee.

Last year I took in a little chick that someone sent through the drive-thru bank tube. The little chick grew up just fine. Bonnie(after Bonnie and Clyde) has been a great little chicken. Her only issue is a crooked tail. I am assuming it broke in her trip through the vacuum tube. It is crazy what people will do.

someone should report them for animal cruelty

I'll try to! I don't know they're name or adress, but I will talk to my freind, the one who rescued them, about it.

I'll let you know if we do!

You really, really should. Think about what your friend saw. She saw people killing chicks and ducklings by starving them to death. And the people were doing it on purpose, because they know from past experience that leaving the chicks out like that always leads to their death. It wasn't just a one-time mistake. People kill chickens all the time for food, but that's quick and painless and for a reason. What your friend saw was torture and she didn't really do anything about it, although I am glad that she saved the ones that were still alive.

They obviously should be reported for animal cruelty and take pictures of how the animals are treated and also take photos of those poor animals that have died. That is why I don't eat meat since every farm animal that is in the farm industry are tortured in a cruel manner.

I live on a farm and no, any animals we've had has never been "tortured", please choose your words more carefully. Not every farm is a "factory farm" and ours most certainly is not. I had an uncle (I never knew him, my mother told me about this) who actually threatened someone who started senselessly beating on his beef cattle when he was selling them for market many years ago. Needless to say he stopped doing so.

But yes, I agree with reporting the subject of this thread to animal cruelty. It's quite senseless.

What I mean is about the farm industries like KFC, McDonalds, Tyson, Butter Ball and others that do torture animals in the most cruel way.

Oh yeah, I see what you mean. I've never liked eating at KFC and no longer get anything "meat" at McDonald's myself.

The eggs that McDonalds serve also come chickens that have been tortured.
