Man faces felony charge after murdering rooster, 'I was fearing for my safety'

The Dentist that shot Cecil The Lion had to go into hiding. The animals they shot were about to die from old age. They pay a fee to shoot them to the Government and the villagers get the meat. Everybody was happy . Then the fools and idiots got wind of the program. And have just about put an end to it.
These same fools that wail and caterwaul at the death of an animal think nothing of murdering an unborn baby in its mother's womb.

Oh my gosh! A Jack Benny episode comes true.

For many (most) of the “Big game” animals the governments sell, at a very high price, the permission to hunt. Most of the preserves/sanctuaries are funded with the proceeds.

Insert joke about having his c*** (rooster synonym) out in public.

A pissed off ferel Rooster might be as tough as a wild gobbler, to a human... we’re soft and easy to peck an eyeball or sink a spur into. No thank you! Mr. Rooster can go in the pot too.

Roosters get jacked up quick. A practiced tennis racket would do the trick.

How is killing a chicken a felony in FLORIDA, land of DeSantis? Was this law put in during the states’ Purple Commie Haze days?

Roosters can be nasty attacking animals. I always carry a stick and aim to remove head from neck

[Chickensoup]

At full age just about all roosters are fighters

[riverrunner]

He did not have the courage to lop their heads off.

[Chickensoup]

EXCELLENT!

[Chickensoup]

No they start calling you Hannibal

[TangoLimaSierra]

Do the chickens have large talons?

Their main weapon is a large spur on the back of their legs.

Roosters are all over the place in Tampa! In Ybor, they have a special right. I hate them because they are pains.

Carry a squirt gun with ammonia in it.

Pretty wild

Sorry, that was a Napoleon Dynamite line.

A plaster lath (some I hope know what that is) works pretty good. Grandma’s big red rooster used to chase us kids. Sis and me, her six and me nine. He got after sis one day. Chased her around the smoke house. I gotta a lath about three feet long. They come around my side. Sis in front, rooster gaining. I caught the fast rooster on the sweet spot and hit a walk off. He was a tough old bird but grandma’s cooking with dumpling and fixings worked. We used the entrails and liver for channel cat bait. Mind you this was back in the 60’s. Grow up red neck and learn stuff. 😜

Great idea - think I’ll try that with some fishers.

a couple gooses that were actually a threat to the public. Particularly to stray children.

My parents had a goose and gander for a while when I was a preschooler. The gander thought he was boss, and would put me, the game rooster, and calves, on the run. He even ran off a bobcat. Not saying he would have won the fight, had there been one, but he charged, wings spread, head bobbing, spluttering in rage, and the bobcat turned tail.

His luck ran out when he savaged my younger sister. Can’t say I remember the taste, but I can say I have eaten goose tamales. His former mate disappeared a few days later. All but a few feathers. My parents supposed the bobcat had returned.

[TangoLimaSierra]

Shoulda remembered that. Seen the movie enough.

Huh. Headline writers took the day off, too... I would expect “Florida man held for murdering cock.”
