It's not like chickens are the only animals that can be terrified into a heart attack, either. Heck, even humans can succumb to that. It amazes me how they blow it all off and keep focusing on that one little thing, especially the radio station. They overlook everything regarding trespassing...
I tried finding some other info on this situation, but the only thing I came across was her Facebook page, which she apparently doesn't mind being open to public scrutiny:

She apparently wanted the publicity...
So it's your responsibility to take every possible precaution (including keeping everything/everyone you love/value locked in a fortified vault 24/7) to protect your things, and if those measures fail, it's your fault? Logic fail.
The way the article is presented is over the top, I was really stunned by some of the "it's only a chicken" lines in the comments; as though that somehow made it okay for the dogs to have trespassed and killed it.
I guess that's why I am rather fond of our local ordinance regarding livestock...
