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.

It’s a story about the miserable life and death of young sensitive beings. Either you downvoted because you think that’s a good thing in the US, either out of cognitive dissonance as you wouldn’t feel well accepting @🦄🦄🦄 has a point.
I do really think downvoters should set aside their feelings, coldly consider the situation, and if you still think the comment was harmful, yeah, downvote. Please don’t shun others because they have different practices, we are better than that.
It’s just trying to hijack a post to discuss a related issue they’d rather talk about. That’s the perfect reason for a downvote.
Animal suffering and veganism are deeply intertwined topics. By analogy, would you be this mad at someone raising issue with the catholic church on a news article about child abuse by priests?
