The Stansilaus County, Calfiornia Animal Control officer who spoke to FOX News called this the worst animal abuse case she’s ever seen. 50,000 hens found trapped in a huge warehouse with only about 2,000 birds in stable enough condition to be rescued. The other several thousand were too far gone and were “euthanized” in portable gas chambers that were brought in to the site of the farm.

Christine Morrisey with Harvest Home Animal Sanctuaries is part of a group of rescuers who called this event an outrage. The property was leased by A & L Poultry owned by Andy Kung Chung. Authorities think that they expect Chung to at least be liable for the clean up, but no criminal animal cruelty laws exist to prosecute him on even if there was the political will to do so. The dead and euthanized birds are being hauled off to the Stanislaus County landfill.

    It seems like every day I get e-mails and posts and action alerts revealing worse and worse cruelty to animals! No matter how many petitions we sign, it doesn’t seem to do any good. It is so very demoralizing. 😦

    Stacey, you do wonderful work with your blog and alerts!! Thank you so much!!!

    I agree that no matter what we do, animal cruelty will never go away because too many people who make the laws don’t care. It’s heartbreaking !!!
