From Clackamas Oregon comes
YOU COULD SAY IT WAS ALMOST A CASE OF FRIED CHICKEN --
A Clackamas County sheriff's deputy rescued a hen Tuesday that had been left unattended without any water in a hot, locked pickup truck that was parked in the sun and had the windows rolled up. The vehicle was parked outside the Village Place Apartments at 9020 SE Scottstree Way in Clackamas, said detective Wendi Babst with the Clackamas Co. Sheriff's Office. A passerby called authorities and the responding deputy tried to find the owner of the truck, but was unable to.
After consulting a veterinarian who confirmed that a bird left in a heated vehicle was at immediate risk of death, the deputy opened the truck door with the help of a locksmith. The hen was taken to Clackamas County Dog Control as a temporary measure until it can be taken to a bird rescue organization or sanctuary. When located, the owner of the bird could face animal neglect charges, Babst said. (kgw.com)
