Animal Services in Oakland, California took custody of hundreds of one-day old chicks who had been shipped from a Santa Cruz hatchery for a destination in Washington State. The agency was alerted when the Oakland Airport Postal Service discovered dying and dead chicks in five boxes Neither the hatchery, nor any other agency, was charged with cruelty to animals because shipping chicks through the postal service is common practice, and legal. Each year millions of chicks are shipped through the mail, without food, water or proper housing, and as a result, large numbers suffer and die Please write to the Postmaster General of the United States Postal Service, to encourage the agency to stop the cruel and inhumane practice of "mailing" live animals. Send letters to: The Honorable John E. Potter Postmaster General & CEO U.S. Postal Service 475 L'Enfant Plaza SW Washington, DC 20260-1000 |
