During a walk in the Dorset countryside, we happened upon a strange fence in a small area of woodland.
Behind the fence were several hundred young pheasants, who we realised had been bred to be chased across nearby fields and shot.
They looked so innocent, so unaware of the violent fate that lay in store for them, so we simply could not walk by.
After disconnecting and removing the battery for the electric fence, we removed several fence panels, and the door to the enclosure. Once we had emptied all of the feed and water, to ensure the birds had no reason to return, we helped usher them out of their prison and into freedom. Run free little ones, you’re safe now x
