This is a SUPER chicken that is as ferocious a fighter I've ever heard of!

Nature is ugly when viewed closely. It's mostly gruesome death.

[The Radical Capitalist]

Certainly not a French coq.

Anyone who has raised chickens knows that roosters can be very effective protectors of their flocks.

My parents had one when I was two years old that tried to kill me every time it caught me ungarded.

Painless killing is a human conception. Nature kills brutally. It is fortunate prey that is killed outright.

Speaking of conception is this any worse than the plunging of scissors and the brain suck sans anesthesia practiced in partial birth abortion.

Dismemberment while still alive, the human practitioners are actually more brutal. At least the eagle killed for food, the humans do it for profit.

Actually there is something worse than this procedure, and that would be abandoning the first president who had the guts to outlaw it.

[SkyRat]

Now thats a topic you don't see everyday on FR.

PBA...At least the eagle killed for food, the humans do it for profit.

...and some as sacrament to their religion beliefs, like N.O.W. does. :/

[WaterDragon]

Great photos of the Golden Eagles with the article, too, eh?

[farmfriend]

Rights, farms, environment ping.

I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

Certainly not a French coq.

Isn't the term "French chicken" redundant?

[E.G.C.]

BTTT!!!!!!

...and some as sacrament to their religion beliefs,...

A few years back, a story came out about the woman in (I think it was) Ohio with the "RU486" license plate.

There was a photo in the newspaper of the plate, and, escaping notice by most, there was a bumper sticker saying "Abortion - a woman's rite".

Not "right" - "rite".

[skinkinthegrass]

"Abortion - a woman's rite".///Not "right" - "rite".

Not "right" - "rite"... I stand corrected

[sandydipper]

"Our" chickens are wild Japanese Fan Tails and they are excellent mothers. With a dozen baby chicks in tow they get pretty defensive. They give no quarter to the local Merlins although the Merlins do take chicks it's never easy.

[DuncanWaring]

...rite...

Actually, I was emphasizing this was the spelling on the bumper sticker. n ;-)

My parents had one when I was two years old that tried to kill me every time it caught me ungarded.

We had one like that too. I must have been 3 or 4 and the rooster was about mid-thigh height to me. He pecked a hole in my leg one day and Dad went out, grabbed him by the head, gave a quick twist, and we had rooster for dinner. Dads can be very effective protecters too.
