I was and still am... I just dont know why or WHO would do such a thing. Random act of violence as I know all my neighbors and they wouldnt do that....... but it makes me worry about my chickens

I don't know if Tess is mean, but from what I've heard about her from Buster, she'd tear a limb off if she thought her "family" were in danger...!
