Wanted: Golf club murderer of 920 California chickens

Authorities in central California are searching for one or more suspects who broke into a Foster Farms chicken ranch and killed more than 900 birds with a golf club. Fresno County sheriff’s deputies arrived at the facility in Caruthers, less than 20 miles south of Fresno, on Sept. 20 and found hundreds of birds slaughtered. The suspects apparently pulled back a fence to gain access to a chicken shed and massacred 920 chickens with a golf club and possibly another instrument. Investigators found a piece of a golf club at the scene. Foster Farms is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and prosecution.

The perpetrator committed an unconscionable act of animal cruelty. This appears to be a random act of violence. It is the express policy of Foster Farms to treat its birds humanely and with compassion. Any intentional act to the contrary is unacceptable.
