NSW Police are investigating after 29 chickens were killed in a pen at the school south of Sydney.
Police officers arrived at Corrimal High on Sunday morning to find 29 chickens had been killed in the pen at the school which specialises in agricultural education.Inspector Allison Guthrie from Wollongong Police said the incident was deeply disturbing.“It is clear this was not the act of a fox or a feral cat – these chickens were well cared for by the facility and for someone to do this is beyond belief.”The alleged killings occurred after school hours between 2pm on Friday and 9.
Students at the school have described the farm “as a dream come true”. The chicken pen produces three dozen eggs a day. “It’s really fun because we make some bonds with the alpacas or the chickens,” one student said in a video posted by the education department to the school’s website.NSW Police declined to comment on how the chickens were killed.
“We are urging anyone who may have any information about this matter – or who were in the area at the time with any available dashcam/mobile phone footage – to contact Wollongong Police Station or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000,” Guthrie said.
