Some people are just callous creeps. One of SAFE’s key personnel suffered a horrendous shock after coming home to find Daisy, one of her beloved rescued battery hens, had been killed and hung on her pathway. The sick act has left her family shaken, and so fearful, that their remaining birds have been fostered out to other loving homes. SAFE Facebook fans continue to express their outrage and condolences to Amanda and her family over Daisy’s tragic death.
