What about what is right for the bird??
Why not address that with a lot of people on this board who don't take adequate precautions for the health and safety of their animals? There are COUNTLESS threads in the predator section that could be the start of that discussion. Attack after attack by fluffy the family pooch who would never have harmed a feather off the head of a bird, then suddenly goes berserk and kills one, two, or ten birds -- or the whole flock.
Thread after thread about people who let their birds free-range, then come in whining and crying about hawks, coyotes, fox, dogs, etc.
Perhaps instead of so many people venting so much anger at a SIXTEEN YEAR OLD who extended the life of one chicken through whatever means she felt she could, they could go vent at people posting in the predator forum whose own actions at not taking care of their animals properly helped endanger not just one bird, but an entire flock.
If you read those thread ,then you know people do . Myself I have.
