A Facebook user Kit Soliman posted
on his account that a handler named Jim Noe Ballester poisoned the gamefowl
chickens of his friend in La Union. Before leaving, the handler mixed a poison
to the gamefowl feeds. Then, he escaped and went in Bicol or in nearby areas. Kit
Soliman gave a warning to the farm owners, if ever this person would apply with
them, don’t accept him if they don’t want to experience what happened to his
friend. Four hundred chickens of Boy Tare died in that poisoning. The sad
thing, all of their stags, pullets and corded cocks which are imported had been
wiped out.
There is no
explanation mention in a post why the handler committed the crime. Cockfighters
have different opinion about the report. Others assumed that it will not happen
if the boss is kind to his people. They remind the farm owners that they should
always be fair with their people if they don’t want to experience such like
this. But for other cockers, whatever the motive of the handler they wished
that he never did it. It is not appropriate to involve the chickens in his
anger to his boss. Whatever his problem, it was better if he talk with his boss
to find a solution. Then, the other point, it is an animal cruelty. Imagine, he
culled 400 chickens in an instant!
Let us hope
that the handler will get caught by the police to pay the crime that he committed.
