Silkies Stolen at Show in West Springfield, MA
|
Helping to get the word out. Please pass along... $1000 REWARD Leading to the person or persons responsible for stealing a White Silkie Hen from her show cage on January 14, 2007 at approximately 7:30 am at the NEPC Show – West Springfield, Mass. If someone offered or sold this bird to you or someone you know, or you have any information at all, please contact us at 508-923-0051 hattricksilkies@comcast.net This White Hen can be physically identified.  Also stolen from the show hall: Pair of Black Silkies and a Splash Silkie Hen It makes me very sad and very angry that I have to post this. Poultry shows are for people who love poultry to come together to compete with the birds they worked very hard with to look their best, and most importantly, to socialize with other poultry people and have fun! But there are always some who have to take advantage of good people for their own selfish gain. This has been an increasing problem of late. A breeder at the huge show this past Fall in Ohio lost their entire breeding flock of Buff Rumpless Auracaunas to a thief, and others have also had birds stolen right out of show cages at other shows and fairs. I hope the thief or thieves responsible for these dispicable acts are caught and the birds returned safely. No matter how coveted these show birds are, there is ABSOLUTELY NO excuse to steal them. Their owners love and care for them as much as anyone else and are heartbroken about their losses. |
