A Delaware animal shelter is facing a crisis after approximately 12,000 chicks were abandoned for three days in a USPS truck, leading to thousands of casualties. The USPS acknowledges a process failure and is investigating. The Freedom Ranger Hatchery raised the chicks for distribution but cannot take them back due to biosecurity issues. The survivors, now in the care of First State Animal Center and SPCA, are available for adoption, though few have been adopted so far, leading to increased operational strain and financial challenges for the shelter.
The survival of thousands of chicks abandoned in a USPS truck highlights serious operational failures and raises concerns about animal welfare during transportation.
The shelterâs continuous 24/7 operations emphasize the urgent need for funds and resources to care for the surviving chicks left without support.
