Universal Ostrich Farm has taken to social media after one of their ostriches was shot overnight.
Katie Pasitney, who’s parents own the farm, shared the devastation in a Facebook video on Friday, May 23.
“We had an incident on the farm that is being fully investigated right now as of last night,” she said.
“We’ve had one of our biggest, beautiful roosters that has been shot.”
Pasitney says protestors saw a large commercial drone flying over the property around 2:30am this morning.
Pasitney says that a second bird on the farm was shot in recent weeks and they’re working with police as investigations continue.
Meanwhile, the fight for the farm continues with U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., weighing in on the situation, telling a New York radio show last month he was “horrified by the idea that they are going to kill these animals.”
