We’re delighted that so many of you have responded to Wednesday’s Alert urging a polite call to three Dunn County, Wisconsin officials asking them to use their influence to stop the Ridgeland “chicken toss” in February.
Today’s Alert includes email addresses for these three Dunn County officials, plus links to our letter to District Attorney Andrea Nodolf, and very importantly, to the letters from University of California Emeritus Professor of Veterinary Medicine Nedim Buyukmihci, VMD in which Dr. Buyukmihci explains to the District Attorney and the County Supervisor why the chicken toss is inhumane and needs to be eliminated.
We understand that the offices are telling some callers that they’re not responsible for the chicken toss; however, these offices represent the county, including the village of Ridgeland. My conversation with County Supervisor Brian Johnson this week was cordial. While he did not say outright that he dislikes the chicken toss, he did not appear to support it either. He said it’s a sensitive “political” issue for those involved.
Whether we leave phone messages, send an email, or write a letter, we must always be courteous and keep the focus on the chickens, compassionate treatment, and humane education.
Thank you!

Thank goodness for reason!
Yes, I know we should be courteous, and I am – but it’s more than some of these idiots deserve. The fact that anyone has to be educated in being humane should be an embarrassment for everyone.
When it matters, I am very courteous – privately, I cope with this by calling them every name in the book. 🙂
And I should add, there are some people who just cannot change, and no amount of education will help them. Anyone older than a child who needs to be taught that this kind of mistreatment of animals is wrong, is completely hopeless IMO. It is just who (or what!) they are.
