A Delaware animal shelter is working to find new homes for thousands of chicks that were left abandoned in a U.S. Postal Service truck for three days.
Delaware’s Department of Agriculture said it received a call earlier this month from USPS saying the Postal Service had an “undeliverable box of baby birds.” About 12,000 chicks had been shipped from the Pennsylvania-based Freedom Ranger Hatchery to farms across the country.
State agricultural officials say that when they found the chicks at a USPS distribution center in Delaware, around 4,000 were dead.
vegans have been around since the 1940s, and my guess is there are more now than ever, but the meat industry grows year-over-year every year. being vegan doesn’t decrease the amount of meat dairy or eggs produced. it certainly doesn’t reduce the amount of vegetables grown.
