"Befor they taik ovar the wurld!"
My dad had about eighty chickens. One chicken, Gertrude, was smart enough to escape the coup and hang out around the house. My dad loved Gertrude. One night I shared some beer with Gertrude. She loved it and got wasted, the the next morning I feared I had killed her but she just had a bad hangover. I figured she wouldn’t want beer after that, but every time she found me outside with beer, she would get totally wasted which was funny to watch, get a bad hangover, then do it again. She was my first drinking buddy.
Really? Then why don’t we see commercials with chickens saying eat more beef?
We have Silkie that runs to Mr. GG2 and stands on his feet chirping for a free lift into the henhouse. Pretty smart. :-)
I’ve never seen a dolphin get to the other side of the road.
Stanley Siegel once said “Chickens are the only animal that can lose weight and not show it in the face.” Drama Queens, I suspect.
In other news, Democrats found to be as smart as dirt.
I’ve seen fat people lose to a chicken at tic-tac-toe, on the boardwalk.
I have had chickens and they are not smart. I watched my chickens standing out in a very heavy rain storm looking straight up at the rain coming down. Several of them stood there so long their nostrils filled with rain water and they drowned! True story!
Sounds like the researchers may be about as smart as chickens...which is no where near as smart as dolphins...
I’ve belched out more functioning brain cells in one little burp than most chickens have.
Chickens are dumb as a box of rocks. You can teach them some silly tricks if you want to spend the time, but they are dumb.
I grew up raising chickens for eggs and meat, usually 100+ per batch. As smart as dolphins? Perhaps, but only the dolphins caught 3 days ago in a drift net...
So we should feel better about eating dolphin. /s
Liberals have a serious problem with word creep, expanding “trauma” and “rape” to anything that they don’t like, hate speech to include “I disagree with it”. By demanding that X be outlawed and expanding the definition of X, they get to ban much more than what was agreed to.
I think there’s a deliberate effort here with scope creep, too. Say “we shouldn’t torture/abuse/eat/experiment on the smart animals”. Then define various acts and behaviors as intelligent, making many species too “smart” to be allowed to be kept in any capacity for human use.
There are no fried dolphin restaurants.
I had an 8th grade science teacher who told the class if dolphins had thumbs we’d all be carrying them around in buckets saying “yes, sir!”
Chickens are stupid and mean. Although not as stupid as turkeys, who are truly the dumbest animal I have come across, chickens are only kept because they taste good.
