Every month The Cruelty Free Shop helps an animal group fundraise by featuring a rescued animal and their sanctuary as our Charity of the Month - more information below....
Foghorn the rooster was found on the side of a busy road in Sydney battered and disoriented. Apparently this road is travelled by trucks loaded with chickens on the way to slaughter so it appears he must have fallen from one of these trucks. It was his lucky day, although I'm sure he didn't think so at the time! Foghorn was quite large so his rescuers thought he was an adult but he actually was only 5 weeks old. Broiler chickens are bred to be very large, so much so that their immature legs can't cope with the extra weight so Foghorn will always suffer from leg problems.
Foghorn was picked up by some kind people who tended to his wounds and then went in search of a safe home for him. They were put in contact with Bede at A Poultry Place who can always find room for one more. A Poultry Place is a sanctuary for hundreds of rescued hens, roosters, ducks, geese, turkeys etc - some of societies most abused animals. They do not receive any government funding and rely con donations from the public to continue their wonderful work for animals. Please consider adding a donation for Foghorn and friends at A Poultry Place to your next Cruelty Free Shop order.
