Скачать или смотреть From Freeway to Freedom: 9 Chickens Safe at Farm Sanctuary

The sun hadn’t even risen Tuesday morning, when reports started flooding the airwaves. Dozens of birds were zigzagging across lanes of a Southern California freeway, being hit by cars, or running for their lives. Sadly, one bird even had a heart attack.

We don’t exactly know how these chickens got there, but it’s not the first time we’ve seen this happen. Far too often we’ve gotten that fateful call from supporters like you who hear news of animals tumbling from transport trucks headed to the slaughterhouse. Sadly, we can only imagine the worst: these chickens (known as “broilers” to the meat industry) very well may have experienced such a harrowing journey prior to their appearance on the highway.

From this horror, nine chickens miraculously survived. They are at Farm Sanctuary and we are doing everything in our power to save them. Here is their story. Learn more at farmsanctuary.org
