A Delaware animal shelter is working to find new homes for thousands of chicks that were left abandoned in a U.S. Postal Service truck for three days.
Delaware’s Department of Agriculture said it received a call earlier this month from USPS saying the Postal Service had an “undeliverable box of baby birds.” About 12,000 chicks had been shipped from the Pennsylvania-based Freedom Ranger Hatchery to farms across the country.
State agricultural officials say that when they found the chicks at a USPS distribution center in Delaware, around 4,000 were dead.
There’s a substantial number of Lemmy users who reflexively downvote anything that even mentions the word “vegan,” regardless of the context, tone, or point of a comment. You got downvoted, I’m gonna get downvoted, and it just goes to show that even in such a seemingly leftist space, the spirit of “reflexively dismiss anything I disagree with” is alive and well.
It’s been getting worse since more reddit users have been coming over.
I’ve noticed that too. For a while, Lemmy users denounced bringing old Reddit baggage to this site. There was a sense of “we are not Reddit, we can form our own culture, without the old toxicity of Reddit.” I think a lot of us still believe that, but the recent months have brought waves of Redd-fugees that don’t know and haven’t adapted to that difference yet.
