Someone Killed One Of My Chickens!!

No, killing and torturing an animal for fun is what should have been stated. Study's show that killing of animals (for fun) is how most serial killers start. People who kill animals for food either raising them or hunting is not the same thing. I wish people would put things in a correct way and not just say a part which makes it wrong. I was a criminal justice major and worked in the court system for over 5 years. I did not make the post but I am sorry if people where offended. To the OP catch the person on tape and call the police.

The biggest problem I have is someone claims there is a study then never provides a link to said study and at that point it is merely an unsubstantiated urban claim/legend LOL if you repeat something often enough it does not matter if it is true some fool will believe it at some point and repeat it



In the book Protecting the Gift there are numerous cites in the appendices regarding this topic. It has been studied and proven. I'm not here to do other people's homework but I wouldn't agree with the fact that, yes animal abuse/violence is a precursor to violence against another person, unless I knew the studies behind it...As a side not, a really good book to read in general if you have kids...

ITA that there is a huge difference than a person who hunts (for food or pleasure) and someone who makes an animal suffer for their own "enjoyment".

Maybe we should get back on the actual subject. I hope you find the person responsible, but let the police handle him/her. Game cameras are great things to have.

Well, no luck on finding who it is yet, but I'm sure it was a person. The bird was in a rabbit hutch like pen, and the latch had to have been opened to get it out. It didn't bleed inside the cage, and I can tell because there was a drop pan. I'm surprised they didn't take out a silkie instead... The blood was on a leg of the cage and there was a blood trail all the way back to the door, and then the bird was thrown back in on the opposite side of the leg with blood on it. It had to have been whacked against the side of the cage. Plus the rock in front of the gate (The one I don't use) was knocked over...

Well said, and I'm sure this is what was intended by the comment, though it was not specified. We process for food here, I was aware of this link between killing animals for fun and serial killers, and took no offense. I did not even catch this omission ("for fun") the first read-through.

Again, I'm so sorry. I did mean "for fun". I am a hunter and raise beef and pork. And plan to raise some chickens for food. I am embarrassed that I worded that poorly.

I don't think you worded it poorly at all. I understood perfrctly well what you were saying. For some reason someone chose to misinterpret it.

Like NYREDS said it was fully understood, and evidenced little reason for misinterpretation. Apology not needed.

I am sorry for your loss. I hope it was not some sick and twisted person who just felt like harming an animal. I hope you get it all figured out!

I hope you find out who or what did it and that they get the proper treatment. I'm sorry for your loss.

That would have me mad as anything if someone had done it, I'm not sure how I'd react. I would definitely set up game cameras and have a strong light and gun ready. I'm NOT saying to shoot anyone, but if it were me- I'd love to see that sicko laying face down in chicken crap waiting for the cops to arrive.

I know someone who's neighbor was not a fan of their small 8 pound yippy dogs- one of them was left shot and dying in a garbage bag in the driveway, found by one of their kids. People like that are a hazard to society.

The problem with that scenario is, you don't know if that sicko also has a gun and would shoot at you when he sees your gun. NEVER bring out a gun unless you're fully prepared to use it! That being said, I'm not sure I could take a human life except to protect my family.

Well, I know its a person, the trail cam scared him/her off. The SD card was laying on the ground and i got two eyes and a npse. No good picture cause the flash messed it up. Now I have coons and coyotes after them... A coyote tore my coon trap to shreds and a coon ripped my meat chickens into newspaper strips. Looks like I get to fix traps and re-hang cameras today...
