News Blurb: Chicken Murders

By Emily Griesenbeck, Staff writer

On September 20th, 2014 over nine hundred chickens were bludgeoned  to death with a golf club and other blunt objects in a Foster Farms facility in Fresno. The Fresno police have arrested four teenagers for the crime- two brothers who lived about a mile away from the farm, a relative of the brothers, and a friend of theirs. The teens were charged with animal cruelty and burglary. Police attribute much of the information they received to the news coverage and social media. Many of the Fresno police officers are concerned about what this act of violence means for the teens in the future, even saying that this act of brutality was that of a psychopath.
