I didn't hear anything about this...Cher, thx.

Wednesday June 3, 2009, 8:19 pm
I am at a loss for anything nice to say about this monster making a joke about innocent lives. I have contacted the writer of the story to find out how to take action against him.
Thanks Cher

This is news to me. Thank you for the info.

Wednesday June 3, 2009, 8:43 pm
This is just awful. I can't believe that people would find this amusing. Most humans are so freaking heartless. Well at least we know there will be pleanty of room in Heaven. Bet hell is full to the brim - maybe that is why there are so many heartless soulless people left here. There isn't any room left for them there.

Wednesday June 3, 2009, 8:52 pm
The CCF is nothing but pure evil. Heartless, cold, souless, greedy evil monsters!!!!
My heart aches for the painful, scary way those sweet innocent chickens died! May they all Rest In Peace.
May those who murdered them SUFFER AND ROT!!!!!!
Noted with rage and tears.

UPDATE: 25-thousand chickens die in Poultry house fire
Wed, 26 Dec 2007 09:01:00 -0700

"Here’s the very latest on that poultry house fire we reported on earlier. Delaware State Fire Marshals now say 25,000 chickens died after an electrical malfunction caused ceiling tiles to burn in a chicken house. Firefighters were busy on Christmas Eve at the Dagsboro chicken house on Sandy Landing Road. About 2 p.m., firefighters responded to the 400-foot long-building where most of the chickens were still inside. They got the fire under control within 20 minutes. Authorities said all the owner's chickens died in the fire or because of injuries from the fire. Damage is estimated at $25,000. Fire investigators say an electrical malfunction along the south wall of the chicken house ceiling started the fire."

I assume no one heard about it because it is from 2007..

I have to wonder ..does this site (animalrights.change.org ) just like to stir up trouble..

I didn't realize that, still the article does talk about the CCF mostly.

I'm very sad. What humans value most seems to be the almighty $ once again.

There seams to be mass output lately on making people think that there are more of us that are crazy than not. I don't suppose Big Pharma or Big Psychiatry has anything to do with that but, really the person posting that would have known the article was 2yrs old so one has to assume that person is a trouble maker. (Not you Cher)

I have my doubts about this animalrights . change. org. Thanks Cher and Dee

This is so sad and my heart goes out to all the chickens that must have died an agonizing death in that fire. The money does not matter, it is the lives of all those dear beautiful chickens.
My heart is hurting.

This is just horrible, those poor Chickens must of suffered terribly. The heartless jerk who laughed is another example of scum that walk this earth. They say God pays debts without money, lets hope he gets his comeupance one day. A life is precious nomatter how big or small. Thanks Cher.x

Ohhhh how horrific.The poor souls
Thanks Cher

Poor chickens. This is really sad.

Thursday June 4, 2009, 3:10 am
This was such a tragic thing to happen to these poor chickens and than that B###### making jokes about it. Noted with anger and sadness. Thanks Cher.

Thursday June 4, 2009, 4:12 am
Does it make it less bad that it happened a year and a half ago? I don't know - I didn't hear about it at the time, anyway. It disgusts me to hear about it now.

Thursday June 4, 2009, 4:13 am
this is news to me also, but it is still ourtrageous to hear that it was all belittled. no wonder we didn't hear much, what a cover up must have followed! all should leave a comment on the site, he will see it.
:)
ty Cher, Joan for the forward.

Its sad and bad for the chickens. David Marqueso was offbase making light of any fire, but that said he was responding, not the cause of the fire.

The ALF cause fires and like it or not they did much worse when they set fire to a private zoo in Turin Italy, the did much worse when they set fire to a very bad pet store in Chicago when all the animals had not been removed and they killed all the reptiles, fish and amphibians. They did ,much worse when they tried to burn down a scientists house in California while the people were home, they did worse when they left a fire bomb on steps of an elderly woman in California because they had the wrong address for the scientist they were trying to blow up.

Why in the world would anyone cover up an accidental fire? They cover up ones they set.

Thnx everyone!!!

This is awful! Thanks Kat for sharing and I will pass it on.

Thursday June 4, 2009, 6:04 am
insensitive morons are everywhere.Christianity says that animals have no souls.others don't have enough of a open heart nor empathy with life to be concerned- many people deal with tragedy by finding humor or making light of it-so they do not have to feel the pain or think to deep sad isn't it

Thursday June 4, 2009, 9:22 am
I can only say that I agree with what it says in the article "in awe of human callousness and carelessness and lack of compassion. We are not the superior species we claim to be." - I feel exactly the same as the writer. Once again, ashamed to call myself human.

Oh those poor baby chickens! This just breaks my heart! I know that they're okay now because Jesus took them to Rainbow Bridge that night. Thanks Ivona and Roseann for the fwd. And thnx Cher for this sad report. Noted with sadness and anger.

Thursday June 4, 2009, 2:28 pm
These chickens were not murdered..It was an electrical fire..no fault to anyone at all..It is sad that they died..but to blame anyone for their death here in this case is wrong..

Thursday June 4, 2009, 3:15 pm
Time for OSHA and Buildinf Enforcement Agencies to require sprinklers in every farm animal enclosure. Many horses have died in fires. Sometimes questionable if it is insurance fraud in this tough economy. Insurance companies should raise insurance costs on anyone failing to provide safety systems. Animal safety agencies such as the ASPCA should push for these laws also. That should wipe the smiles off of heartless fools that fail to value these animals that provide sustenance to human life.Sacreligious Godless greedy monsters.

Thursday June 4, 2009, 3:34 pm
Doesn't matter when it happened, they just didn't need to be so flippant at relating the story. After all, it was thousands of little lives that were horribly killed in that fire. A little compassion would of went a long way.
Thanks Cher.

"Doesn't matter when it happened, they just didn't need to be so flippant at relating the story. After all, it was thousands of little lives that were horribly killed in that fire. A little compassion would of went a long way"


I couldn't agree more Kathy!!!!

Thursday June 4, 2009, 5:12 pm
I was horrified and shocked to hear this news. The poor little chickens went through so much agony and pain and no one cares. I said some prayers to God to comfort all of their little souls and make them angels for other chickens in distress. I am sending out this article to all of the bookmark sites and other news about cruelty in factory farming chickens and even Cage-Free and organic eggs. I will help these precious little creatures until the day I die. They are so helpless and unloved. I want to help them all. I help them like this and through prayers and a few donations. I don't have much money. If I had allot of money I would give tons to help chickens and other birds.

Thursday June 4, 2009, 6:04 pm
De$picable cruelty ... think about it ... GROUP KARMA ... if you don't speak out then you condone it ... some day AmeriKKKa will be without affordable food.

blah blah blah

Animals feel PAIN ...

suffering is inevitable

IAN is optional


I hope I never get to see the karma these human biengs, who inflicted this suffering on these animals, get to suffer.

Thursday June 4, 2009, 7:21 pm
Noted , disgusting !!

Friday June 5, 2009, 1:36 am
I am lost for words! How can anyone laugh at such a horrific thing. Those poor creatures.

Friday June 5, 2009, 1:43 am
I agree with you Helen D.How can anyone laugh at chickens burned alive.Creator(GOD) made these creatures,and to harm one of his creations is a total disgrace.Don't think Creator does care for Chickens,what goes around comes around..

About the CCF on Sourcewatch.org:

"The Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) (formerly called the "Guest Choice Network") is a front group for the restaurant, alcohol and tobacco industries. It runs media campaigns which oppose the efforts of scientists, doctors, health advocates, environmentalists and groups like Mothers Against Drunk Driving, calling them "the Nanny Culture -- the growing fraternity of food cops, health care enforcers, anti-meat activists, and meddling bureaucrats who 'know what's best for you.' "

This explains why 1) they do not care at all about animals, their "sponsors" profit from animal misery for human consumption; and 2) their one and only motive for existence is to lying to society so that their "sponsors" can continue to reap enormous profits at the expense of the enslaved, captive animal populations.

Since they exist to serve industries and are funded by them, nothing they produce can is objective or impartial.

Burning animals alive is NEVER justified, and if one wouldn't sentence a companion animal to such a fate, there is no excuse for condemning any other animal to this kind of horrible suffering.

Thnx Rooibos!!

PS Bill C - stop spreading misinformation about ALF, they did NOT set any fires in Italy or anywhere else, that LIE was exposed and traced back to pro-flesh peddling "businesses" interests!

Tuesday June 9, 2009, 5:35 am
why the h*** would ALF kill zoo animals? that is so much b.s., this is just to make light again of what TRULY happened, and a callous persons attitude towards animal life.
many non-vegans are very angry about this situation, it's called compassion, and this jerk will have to answer to his higher power one day, we all do, and I believe in karma.

Tuesday June 9, 2009, 8:34 am
Sheila, they don't. It was the meat/dairy/egg/vivisection industry's attempt to try to smear ALF and the their liberation activities. Same crap, different day.
