🐔 Free Range Doesn’t Mean Free Game 🐕
Since the floods, one brave chicken has made her home near the hospital — a survivor, a symbol, a little clucking legend. People from all over bring her snacks and smiles. She’s our unofficial therapy bird.
Today, someone’s off-leash dog went for her.
Not because the dog was bad — but because the human was careless.
Letting your dog off leash isn’t a flex. It’s a risk — to wildlife, to people, to the dogs themselves.
If your dog can’t read traffic signs, doesn’t speak fluent “come back here now,” or might mistake a chicken for a chew toy — it’s leash time.
Lismore’s been through enough free-floating chaos. Let’s keep our dogs safe and our hospital chicken free. 🐓💛
