Chickens Left to Starve—What Went Down?

Over 350,000 chickens in South Africa had to be euthanized after a state-owned poultry company ran out of money to feed them, leaving the birds starving and even turning on each other. The NSPCA stepped in, saving half a million birds, but the scenes were absolutely brutal—think skeletal chickens and empty feeding lines. The company blames financial issues, but animal welfare groups are planning legal action. This is honestly one of the wildest (and saddest) farm stories I’ve heard. #AnimalWelfare #SouthAfrica #PoultryCrisis #NSPCA #FarmNews #Pets
