Omen’s Story
Omen was the one that got away.
Omen was rescued from a large chicken plant in Arkansas. One day, a member of the Rowdy Girl Sanctuary team, Riyuji, and the founder Renee were visiting one of the farms they work with when they passed a massive chicken plant. Unable to resist the urge, they decided to turn right in.
It was broad daylight, and the place was bustling with cars. They drove around to where they saw trailers filled to the brim with chickens—there must have been thousands of them crammed into those trailers.
Under one of the trailers, they spotted a lone chicken, and they immediately knew they had to take her back to Rowdy Girl Sanctuary. Riyuji crawled under the trailer and gently ushered her towards Renee. Once she was safely in their hands, they quickly got out of there.
They stopped at a dollar store to get a towel, some water, and food to prepare Omen for the journey back to the sanctuary.
Omen rode all the way back to the sanctuary on Riyuji’s lap—a nine-hour drive.
They probably could have gone to jail, but that wasn’t even a consideration at the time. Their only focus was saving this one lone chicken who had managed to find herself under the trailer as they drove by.
