PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2025) — Detectives with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office are asking the public for help identifying a vehicle connected to an act of animal cruelty reported in The Acreage late last week.
According to investigators, the incident happened on December 26, 2025, at the intersection of Avocado Boulevard and 60th Street.
Authorities say a vehicle stopped at the intersection. The occupants got out. A chicken was set on fire. The vehicle then fled the area.
The animal ran from the intersection and later died a short distance away, deputies said.

The case is being handled by the Sheriff’s Office Animal Crimes Unit.
