Tell Buchheit Not to Give Away Free Chicks to Kids

Buchheit is a multi-purpose chain store that sells everything from farm equipment to building supplies.

In a horrible move, they are offering this Saturday a FREE baby chicken to every child.

Seriously?

This is just a bad idea on so many levels. Children are not responsible for the care of animals, their parents are, and how many are really capable of welcoming a chick, let alone an adult chicken, into their home. Is it legal? Do they have the right setup?

More thought than stopping by the local country store should go into welcoming an animal into your home. Impulse buys (and this one's free!) generally end poorly for the animals.

Please ask Buchheit NOT to follow through with this promotion. It teaches children and parents that animals are disposable and may result in the death and suffering of countless chickens.
