A Delaware animal shelter is working to find new homes for thousands of chicks that were left abandoned in a U.S. Postal Service truck for three days.

Delaware’s Department of Agriculture said it received a call earlier this month from USPS saying the Postal Service had an “undeliverable box of baby birds.” About 12,000 chicks had been shipped from the Pennsylvania-based Freedom Ranger Hatchery to farms across the country.

State agricultural officials say that when they found the chicks at a USPS distribution center in Delaware, around 4,000 were dead.

    Non-Vegans: Stop trolling the vegans. They’re doing what they think is right and aren’t hurting you or anyone else. Respect their views.

    Vegans: You’ve made your points. Stop being preachy, condescending, and pushy toward everyone else. Respect their views.

    Everyone else: Sorry, but petty bickering like this is why we can’t have nice things.
