    Roo Question

    beebiz im sorry but that story is so horrible and upsetting. your father should have been charged with animal abuse. beating a rooster within an inch of its life with a broom? despicable behaviour. He shouldnt have been allowed to keep chickens.

    Keeping a single rooster- ok or cruel?
