So sad thats just a few hours from me. DONATE. Seems to me that the owner is getting off a little easier than the birds huh? Especially when you look at the condition they are in and stop to realize how much money she probably made off of them. Its really terrible when stuff like this happens basically in your back yard.

This woman was a breeder and lost her home- probably no where to move with all of them. Know people who did odd jobs for them... sad

this is devastating to me..
I think they need harsher punishment. she could've at least attemped to find homes for these birds or surrendered them to authorities...

None of us are in their shoe's so we dont know what actually happened. Stuff happens and sometimes never know how or what really goes on, it is easy to be on the outside and voice opinion, but there are always 3 sides to ANY story, their's the other side and the truth. I feel for all involved.

A breeder that has a mass amount of birds, and can't afford them? Um, why the heck didn't they get into their network of breeder friends and sell the birds?

There is never a reason to just walk away when there is always someone that will take your birds even if its another breeder that takes them.

some people are just jerkoffs and should have their heads kicked in.
