Recently animal welfare workers in eastern England responded to a disturbing call. Nearly 1,000 new born chicks were dumped on the side of the road for no apparent reason. It happened near Peterborough and officials believe they came from a commercial chick producer nearby but were dumped by a third party. The chicks were only a day old and officials have no idea why someone would carry out such a cruel act. To make matters worse, the temperature was very cold so rescuers had to act fast to get them warm.
