Sorry about that. I guess. It's probably for the best even though you did miss out on the soup. There are all sorts of supposed cures out there for a flogging rooster, but I don't think any of them work all that well. Personally, I just have zero patience for that sort of behavior, but that's me.

Stop. Just stop. Have some decency.

When I saw that Foghorn was dead, I almost started to cry.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I seriously am about to cry.

His comb was gorgeous, btw.

No, I don't kill and eat everything that annoys me. If I did my brother-in-law would be six feet under long before now. I admit I was tactless. However, any animal that is a danger to my (or to anyone else's) safety goes to freezer camp ASAP. That "much loved pet" attacked the OP's mother. Even a small rooster can hurt you and who, particularly in this day and age, wants to make a trip to the ER? That rooster proved himself to be a menace. The fact he was loved and a pet does not alter that fact one bit.

You know, I was going to leave this one alone but your comment was really gnawing at me all day. I sincerely hope that you have some tact when it comes to speaking to people you actually know who are suffering a loss or a crisis, no matter the severity.

At the least, I hope you don't encounter someone whose as seemingly heartless or negligent with their commentary when you're hurting as you have been on this thread. Just some food for thought.
