***** PLEASE DISTRIBUTE WIDELY!!! *******
Three months ago, 21 roosters were seized by the Page County Sheriff's
Office in Virginia as part of their bust of an illegal cockfighting
operation. Finally, due to very hard work on the part of deputies, public
attorneys, and other county personnel, they are now able to be released.
Their release date is the first week of October, 2009.
The Eastern Shore Sanctuary and Education Center will be taking eight (8)
of the most aggressive birds, the maximum number we can rehabilitate at
once. Over the past five years, we have honed a rehabilitation technique
to the point that within a month or so, these guys will be able to mix and
mingle with the rest of the flocks here.
THAT LEAVES THIRTEEN ROOSTERS WHO WILL BE KILLED IF HOMES ARE NOT FOUND
BY OCTOBER 6, 2009.
It is critical to note that over the past three months, these roosters
have calmed down considerably. They are NOT, repeat NOT showing signs of
active aggression, and while they might need a bit of work, they will not
require nearly the level of time and effort to rehabilitate as the others
will.
We are willing to work via phone and email to explain the VERY EASY
rehabilitation methods we've developed over time. Very little in the way
of equipment is needed, and if you do it well, it's DONE.
We desperately need sanctuaries who are willing to give this a chance.
Contact the Eastern Shore Sanctuary at 802-885-4017 or
sanctuary@bravebirds.org. Even if you aren't SURE about it but might
CONSIDER the idea, give a call and we will be very happy to talk about it.
For the animals,
The Eastern Shore Sanctuary and Education Center
