Goodness! That's awful.
I asked Keith at Vale if he knew anything about it and he hadn't heard. It's unusual to be able to tell him anything!

The culprits, if ever caught, need to be put away for life (but I'd happily have them flogged first), they are a danger to our society. They are born psychopaths or mentally very heavily disturbed. Chickens today, people tomorrow...

What is this world coming too  :'(
How can someone even think about doing such an awful thing  >:( To lose a bird at any time is bad, losing 40 would be horrendous, but to find that someone DELIBERATELY killed your chooks - oh, I can't even express how ANGRY it makes me. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
Perhaps someone worried about a little healthy competition on the egg front  ??? But it's truelly sickening.

The UK has slipped deeper into the quagmire over the last couple of generations. The country is full of losers and sick bas**ds that need a kick up the arse.

I was wondering if they had near by neighbours that had made complaints!!!

the village is under police surveillance 24/7 currently due to 'antisocial behaviour'.  there is lots of stuff going on currently. its very sad as this is a gorgeous part of the world.
I only know of Pete because some of the travellers from the site recommended him to me to buy hens from when I said I was increasing my flock. it seems he is well known to them and they've picked up many of their birds there in the past.
but for anyone to cold heartedly kill 40 birds for no reason, its just so awful.

A bit like cuttin the head of a horse and putting in your bed, some one is giving them a warning, they should maybe take notice!!!!

Hopefully an animal rights organisation will catch up with the scum that committed this appalling deed as the Police probably won't,

That's sickening.

I've heard of this sort of cruelty before. I can't understand it. Pigs can bite you and cattle can trample you but poor ******** chickens just deliver the goods with no fuss and no aggro. What makes folk commit such atrocity against harmless inoffensive creatures. I hope they brag about it and get caught.
