HEYou know that feeling when you spot a lump in the middle of the road and pray it’s just an old sweater—not an animal?
Well, this time, that lump really *was* an animal.
Seemingly frozen with fear at first, this poor little rooster transformed into the calmest, most curious little gentleman once he was safe inside the car, as if he instantly knew he was out of danger.
It always baffles me when people abandon sweet, healthy, clearly well-loved pets. Someone obviously cared for him once—handled him gently and gained his trust. So why suddenly dump him?
More often than not, people don’t want to do it—they feel forced to. Thanks to the senseless anti-rooster laws sweeping across California & beyond, many caring owners end up in impossible situations. Knowing how grim the euthanasia rates for roosters in shelters are, “setting him free” might seem like the least cruel option left.
You can blame individual owners all you want—but it’s the broken system that’s to blame. Thoughtless, reactionary anti-rooster laws create victims on both sides—people and their innocent companions.

Also, if you’re in California and live in one of the extremely scarce areas still zoned for roosters, please consider adding this cheeky and cheery guy to your flock! 🐔ChickenAdoption.com
