An Oregon man released a flock of chickens inside the Oregon Department of Revenue office on Wednesday to demonstrate his anger, police said.
Louis Adler, 66, reportedly delivered seven chickens to the Eugene office Wednesday morning, but police have yet to determine the motive behind the poultry protest.
State agency spokesman Derrick Gasperini said office employees had previously dealt with Adler and he was “frustrated with the outcome,” according to the Register-Guard.
The chickens were taken to First Avenue Shelter, where they will stay temporarily.
“This time of year, definitely in our cattery and our kennel we’re full. We are now full of chickens as well,” Cary Lieberman, executive director of the Greenhill Humane Society, told KEZI, the local ABC affiliate.
“It’s not often we take in seven chickens at once and certainly not under this circumstance.”
Adler recieved a trespass notice and was warned to stay away from the building, police spokeswoman Melinda McLaughlin told the Register-Guard.
The chickens inflicted no damage on the office.
