GEORGETOWN, Ky. (AP) – Georgetown Police say they responded to a Walmart parking lot after shoppers reported chickens left in a car.
Animal Control officers say 12 chickens had been in the car while the owners shopped for about 30 minutes, according to WKYT-TV in Lexington. 1 of the birds died. The rest were taken to a shelter.
Officers say the windows of the car were open just a crack. The National Weather Service says the high temperature yesterday in nearby Lexington was 94 degrees.
