A beak can put an eye out. Children's faces are much closer to a rooster' beak than an adult's. A chicken without spurs can still leave scars with its claws, especially on the face. And those wings can beat up a fox pretty good; if a chicken wants to beat you with his wings he can do some damage. A child facing all that is going to have some emotional scarring for life. Are we saying all this is okay to inflict on a helpless child while we play "poor baby" over an aggressive, vicious rooster? 'Scuse me, my sympathies and priorities are for the kid and his dad who rightly protected him from getting flogged. Or worse. Nobody asked if the kid is okay, or how old he is, that I saw. If a good swift kick taught the rooster not to attack kids, he's already a better rooster, in my opinion. And if not, he'll make good soup.
