Human Predators

[DIMBY]

I'm posting in this forum, such a sad story and a cautionary tale for all of us:

gross, what a sad thing. Poor kids. Poor hens.

That is absolutely disgusting. I hope they catch them and throw away the key. What is the world coming to?

Seriously, what is wrong with people? Makes me want to live somewhere there aren't any.

I would be worried that who ever did this might come back to the neighborhood. Sounds like a serial killer in the making. Those poor kids and chickens.

There is already a thread on this in Random Ramblings. And while everyone feels bad for the kid, virtually everyone suspects that is was an animal predator, NOT a human. I wholeheartedly agree--the description is very much what one would find if the predator was a weasel or similar.

With my old pen I had a trampling incident- the live chickens trampled the dead ones in panic- all of them were trampled but one...

I really -could- go on but won't it was two raccoons and one was scaring them to were the pin was weak- the other was reaching through and grabbing, the -hole- was at head height so once the chicken was dead the darn varmints couldn't reach any more of the bird.

It was one hole ONE hole one 1inch * 1 inch hole rat it all.

It wasn't till later that I realized (during funeral) one wasn't trampled.

Also dead chicken bodies once stiff have a different shape too-


Edit week/weak - whatever. *shrug*
