Raw Results
In short
A Howard County court denied an appeal on 13 October 2026 by a Columbia woman who had been feeding raw chicken to a flock of approximately 200 vultures.
What is happening
The court ruling prevents Feng Sun from resuming the practice of feeding raw meat to the birds. She had reportedly provided over 10,000 pounds of chicken to the flock during the winter months.
When
The appeal was denied on 13 October 2026.
Why it matters
The feeding caused significant local issues, including bird droppings on roofs, cars, and trees, as well as bones being left in neighbouring yards.
Easy to mix up
Do not confuse this legal case with the 'raw' flatbreads mentioned in a recent Great British Bake Off technical challenge.
