What does everyone think about poor David Pownells birds being stollen and killed!!!

Sounds once again the police do not want to know!!

Took and killed: 50 large buff Orpingtons, 30 large black Orpingtons, 20 black bantam Orpingtons, 20 large white Wyandottes, 20 exhibition Aylesbury ducks

Apparantly 15 Romanians from Stockport were seen on CCTV but who are denying everything. The police have found beheaded birds and lots of blood - these people want shooting.

These poor birds, god only knows how frightened they must have been, and to what an awful end.
 
I heard about this, how terribly sad :( :( ...a lot more poultry rustling seems to be going on, or maybe we are hearing about it more. Wasn't there going to be a local feature on the media?
 
thats so so sad :( :( :( do you know everyone always says to me what about the foxes and your girls well all i say back is i am not worried about the foxes but i do worry about theives etc some people think i am mad . my run is very fox proof well has been for just over 2 years now but i know it will never be safe to the hands of man .
 
Spoke to a friend of davids today, he had 110 birds killed. A man called to buy 1 birds from him in the morning "to see the set up". At midnight a van pulled up in the factory opposite (this was all caught on cctv), 3 albanian men waded through the river chest deep and onto his property. They walked past all the growers and youngsters and up to the adult birds. Each henhouse is alarmed on the door, they must have known this as they cut a hole in the back of the henhouses to get in.
This was at midnight, they were there until 1.30am! Nobody heard a thing.
The next morning david went down and opened pne of the sheds and was confronted with an almost empty house and lots of blood, he went to the back of the hen house and this is where he found all the heads. All the birds had been necked, some had been killed harder than others and had their heads "ripped" off.

Police saw CCTV pictures and went to see the men, but as no birds at premises are not investigating further!

Birds were taken to Stockport where these men live and were sold on as food!!!

What a waste of beautiful birds, my heart goes out to David and his family.
 
i have to admit i must be on guard the best i can be as i have just remembered that a friend on my site warned me the other day that something similar happened not to far from me a couple of weeks ago and he warned me because so many people know where i keep my girls now :( my heart goes out to you david an your family
 
How totally awful for both Mr Pownell, the birds and those that remain. I don't even want to think about the mayhem, noise and carnage. It is really upsetting to read about, let alone discovering it the carnage.

What sort of monsters will do that to a bird or animal- it is beyond comprehension. Those poor birds must have been terrified...... I am truly aghast, and feel so very sorry for Mr Pownell. How do you come to terms with something as despicable as this??

Even I, a novice and newbie chicken keeper, has heard of Mr Pownells blood lines and Orpingtons etc.....
 
This is awful, I feel so sorry for David and those poor birds. This type of theft and murder seems to be happening more and more now days. A similiar thing happened to a friend of mine who runs a childrens farm, last year, when she had 3 half grown pigs attacked during the night, one was battered to death and taken away by some foreign nationals. The police couldnt do anything. It's maddening that even though David's culprits were caught on CCTV, justice can't be done.
 
How is it this type of person is allowed in our country?

I thought were were an Island and had check points...Did they swim the channel as well.
 
I think this is outragous! especially when the police do not want to know! i cannot believe that the horrible people took so many birds, just to kill them. And i also feel sorry for Mr Pownells, this is is hobby. absolutley horrible!! :-)06
