<div>Across Hawaiʻi, thousands of chickens live in danger every day. Some are abandoned backyard flocks left behind when families move away. Others are injured feral birds trying to survive in urban and rural areas. Many are victims of illegal cockfighting rings where birds are bred, abused, and discarded when they are no longer profitable. When law enforcement seizes these animals or when they are found injured and neglected, there are no places can take them. Too often, the result is euthanasia or suffering without help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Trooper’s Chicken Rescue was created to change that.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our volunteer organization was founded because Hawaiʻi currently lacks a dedicated system to rescue, rehabilitate, and safely relocate these birds. While a few sanctuaries exist in the islands, most cannot take feral chickens or roosters rescued from cockfighting situations. The result is a major gap in animal welfare that leaves thousands of birds without a humane solution.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hawaiʻi’s geographic isolation makes this crisis even more difficult. National rescue organizations rarely operate here, and transporting animals off island is extremely expensive and often impossible. Local volunteers are left to respond to this growing crisis using their own vehicles, supplies, and funds. Despite these challenges, our team continues to rescue injured birds, respond to community calls, and relocate animals to safe foster homes whenever possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But the scale of the problem is far bigger than what a small volunteer network can handle alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our goal is to raise $4 million to build Hawaiʻi’s first dedicated chicken rescue and rehabilitation sanctuary. This funding will allow Trooper’s Chicken Rescue to purchase land, build safe housing and medical facilities for rescued birds, and establish the transportation infrastructure needed to respond to large scale rescues.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With this sanctuary we will be able to receive abandoned flocks, take in birds rescued from neglect, and provide a humane placement option for chickens seized from illegal cockfighting operations. Instead of being destroyed because there is no where for them to go, these animals will receive medical care, rehabilitation, and the chance to live safely in permanent homes or sanctuary environments.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The project will include land acquisition to establish a permanent sanctuary and rehabilitation space, construction of secure coops and recovery areas for injured birds, a small avian medical and treatment facility, and specialized rescue transport systems capable of safely relocating large numbers of birds at once.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This sanctuary will also serve as an education center. We plan to work with local schools, community members, and veterinary schools to teach humane animal care, responsible flock stewardship, and the realities of animal cruelty tied to cockfighting. By educating the next generation, we can change the way these animals are treated in our communities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now Trooper’s Chicken Rescue is entirely volunteer driven. Our rescuers use their own money to buy feed, crates, medical supplies, and transport equipment. They use their own vehicles to pick up injured birds and bring them to safety. They build temporary coops and shelters out of pocket in their own homes. They do this work because they believe these animals deserve compassion and protection.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We cannot solve this crisis alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support will help build the first real solution for Hawaiʻi’s chickens. A sanctuary where abandoned and abused birds can recover. A rescue network that can respond when animals are seized from cockfighting operations. A humane alternative for communities struggling with feral populations. And a place where compassion replaces cruelty.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These birds are intelligent, social animals who feel pain, fear, and comfort
</div>
<div>\ just like any other creature. They deserve safety, care, and dignity.
</div>
