Why would somebody SHOOT my chicken??? *Update - Found a Bullet!!!!!*

[D'Angelo N Va.]

I am sooo sorry to hear about your chicken shooting. that is down right stupid of someone and obviously some dumb morons that think they were impressing their friends.

I woild like to defend the likely shooters here (teens). A few years back someone was shooting horses in the Reno Nv. area, everyone was blaming teenagers. When it was all said and done, the actual shooters were U S Marines home on leave. They are now where they belong, prison.
Whatever the case, teenage or adult, you have a SICK person in the area.
There are only 2 reasons to shoot an animal, 1 is for food, the other is to put down a terminally ill animal.

I love BYC

I feel better after reading through all your responses and just being able to talk about it. Happy Bunny "mean people suck"...I love it. Hopefully today will be a much better day. Yesterday, every car that drove by my house made me nervous. I think I'll get out of the house today.

By the way, I did talk to some neighbors to let them know what happened, and I told my kids NOT to go outside without me. Not that I would be able to stop a bullet or anything, but I can keep an eye out for anything strange, watch for the same car that I saw, and hopefully if the heartless no-good sick moronic jerk-faces see me out there they'll just keep on driving...

When I was a kid, not once, but twice, two different individuals shot our family dog, 'just for the heck of it'.

The one that shot our first dog is dead. He lived a miserable life, fathered a number of children with different women and died poor and alone.

The other one didn't apologize until my sister went to his house and said, "Well you killed my dog, I've got my gun in the car and I'm going to shoot your horse right between the eyes."
In that instant, Lesson learned.

TX mom I am so sorry that happened to you! That is downright horrific!
Panner is right tho ya never know who could have done such a thing, a while back in 1 county away from me some meth addicts were going around to farms shooting hroses then decapitating them and placing their heads on fence posts. They did the same thing with cats, dogs, cows. It's disgusting what sick people do now n days for kicks.

to you I hope there are no more issues for you and the cops catch whoever did this and they are brought to justice!

Am really sorry to hear of that type of hooliganism. Sheriff's departments have to respond to any report that includes gunshots or suspected gunshots. Could be that a game cam might catch the hoodlums in the act. As cowardly and mean as it is, it is even worse to use a .22 for such a thing. For one thing, any missed shots could have traveled a long way and hit a person fatally. I sincerely hooe you are able to catch the individual responsible for that. It is good that you have it on the record. For your own good, call the sheriff and get a copy of the report to keep for your records. You can never tell where this might lead, and it is good to have a record of it on hand.

I'm from Texas and live not too far from Sealy and it seems that it is the thing for Texas boys to go out into the country and just shoot anything that pleases them! Crazy boys and teenagers. One day them boys will grow up, have chickens and some crazy rowdy teenage kids will come to their farm and start shooting their chickens and they'll wonder who would kill their chickens.....Then a reminder will pop up and they'll remember that they killed someone elses chicken a long time ago.

What goes around comes around!!

I am SO sorry!!!! What a terrible and frustrating thing to have happen. I hope they catch them.


I like the suggestion several posts back about the sign out front. I'm thinking hard about a game cam right now. I have long worried about something like that happening with our horses. I thought I was just paranoid. Unbelievable that people would really do it.
