An animal lover saved 4,000 chickens from certain death after raising 2,400 pounds (US$3,150) in 36 hours to stop the truck that was coming to take them to the slaughterhouse.

Sanctuary owner Melanie James sprang into action when she answered the Facebook appeal of a local farmer who was re-homing 1,000 hens at the end of their egg-laying careers.
