June 20th is “Little Birdie Day”. On June 20th of 2023 I witnessed animal abuse to the max. This little bird was kicked around in mud in front of me and I took her home. I thought we could save her but, instead, she would be the first bird I’d ever have to decide to put down. Little birdie was paralyzed, massively overweight and still peeping as a chick. I couldn’t help her, I wanted to so badly. I sat and cried over her and apologized for everyone’s actions until the animal control officer picked her up. Somewhere inside me I still say I could have saved her.. but this breed was designed to die, and live a short few weeks of its life in misery. I ask you all to think about buying unknown chicken before you order that sandwich, or buy that grocery store chicken, and google what a Cornish cross meat farm looks like. I’ll say it again, Edible Land Design Farm46 and many others raise bird’s right in thier backyard with love. Please consider paying more for a bird whose life was honored. Thanks
