Snowflake’s owner says it is like losing a member of the family
The North Vancouver resident is in shock after someone broke into her backyard chicken coop and stole a beloved pet.
“We couldn’t believe it,” she said. “They’re beloved family pets, and to have these boys break in and take them is just beyond words.” Smith said whoever it is in the video must have known in advance that the chickens were there, as the coop is hidden from street view. That means the boys are most likely from the neighbourhood, she deduces.
“They grabbed her by her legs. And I know that’s what they do in meat processing facilities, but it’s not humane or kind and it’s so stressful and that alone can kill a chicken,” she said. If it was indeed a grad prank, Smith said chicken thieves have an even larger obligation to think about the kinds of people they are becoming.
“It is upsetting, and we hope that they will do the right thing and return the pet to its rightful owner,” he said.
