Helping Roosters in Need:
In the heart of Western Australia, a movement is growing – one that seeks to challenge the status quo of the poultry industry and shine a light on the often overlooked plight of roosters. At Bird The Label, we are not just about fashion; we are about compassion. Our inaugural initiative proudly supports WAPRA Western Australian Poultry Rescue Association, also known as Rid Rooster, a beacon of hope for these vibrant creatures.
Roosters are more than just the early morning heralds of the dawn; they are intelligent, social creatures with personalities as vibrant as their plumage. Here are some compelling reasons to welcome a rooster into your life:
- Natural Pest Control: Roosters are great for your garden, as they feed on bugs and pests.
- Flock Protectors: They watch over hens, ensuring their safety from predators.
- Educational Value: Roosters provide a unique opportunity for learning about animal behavior and care.
- Companionship: Like any pet, roosters offer companionship and can form strong bonds with their caretakers.
The Forgotten Roosters
In the poultry industry, roosters often face a grim fate. They are typically considered less valuable than hens and frequently discarded. This not only raises serious animal welfare concerns but also highlights a need for responsible breeding practices. It's crucial for poultry breeders to consider the lives of all their birds, including roosters, and to avoid unnecessary breeding that leads to overpopulation and neglect.
Support West Australia's Rooster Shelter: Make a Difference:
WAPRA is committed to creating a sanctuary for roosters, where these majestic birds can thrive until they find their forever homes.
A recent government grant has been approved for developing a purpose-built facility on Department land in Stakehill Road, Baldivis, generously provided by the WA Planning Department. WAPRA is now preparing a development application for submission to the City of Rockingham, including necessary professional reports to ensure no adverse environmental impact.
As a non-profit, volunteer-driven association, WAPRA relies on donations and grants for funding.
