A Florida man spent 30 hours in jail and is facing a felony charge after he murdered his neighbor's rooster in what he called an act of self-defense.
James Nix, 54, is going viral in the wake of his arrest after detailing how he killed his neighbor's rooster in May, according to a report.
"I'm defending myself, you know," Nix, a Jacksonville native, said. "I was fearing for my safety, and the chicken died."
"I didn't know to give it a 21-gun salute!" he continued. "CPR, mouth-to-mouth, do you know? Or call the chicken ambulance?"
Nix was grabbing his mail when the rooster belonging to Jason Defelice came after him, he claimed.
**SNIP**
Defelice contacted animal control, and Nix was arrested and charged with aggravated animal cruelty, the report noted.
"Next thing you know, he calls the chicken police on me," Nix said.
"Chickens die every day, people - at Churches, Popeyes, Kentucky Fried Chicken."

It was nothing to crow about.
So I guess that he didn’t choke it?
Probably not until his 30 hours was up.
Didn’t Don MacClean or someone do a song called “The Day The Rooster Died” or something? Did this happen in a Chevy at the levy?
I deliver my extra roosters to a gated community in the dark of night. It’s fair payment for all the puppies and kittens they drop off out here in the country.
So would Chinese restaurant workers when all the neighborhood cats disappear. Actually that sounds like a good reason to question them.
Is this for real? You can’t murder a chicken. And a felony? Give me a break.
Roosters can fight/attack.
Same with turkeys.
They have surprisingly dangerous claws on their feet.
That is such a great tune
It’s not murder, it’s damage to property and maybe cruelty to an animal. Murder is when a human being kills another human being, unlawfully. Our language is being hi-jacked by idiots.
My friend had to kill his rooster because it kept trying to attack people, including him. Do they call it murder if you eat the chicken after killing it?
OK.
So which one of them did the anti Trump article last week?
There would be a lot of cops in prison right now for murdering dogs if this was taken seriously.
We were at a friend’s house, and then my five year old son maxe convincing rooster noises. The rooster went after him. Okay had a full sized shovel, and went after the rooster, who chickened out.
Both? All the big news orgs are anti Trump to some degree.
When I was a kid, I gave my grandmother a red-dyed baby chick for Easter. It grew into a mean rooster that would chase people. After it spurred Granny while hanging clothes, she murdered him. He made for a tough supper.
😂...
There was an episode of “The Jack Benny Show” featuring “roostercide”…complete with Ray Burr as Perry Mason (of course)
It’s my understanding that the animals those hunters go after are the ones the govts of those African countries give permission to kill. Old or something wrong with them or there are just too many.
Cannibalism, it’s against the law. Unless it’s beaver. And you can’t choke your chicken in public that’s against the law. Unless you’re a Tranny. It’s getting harder and harder to have a real good time.
Yup,
Give me a Beak,
Perhaps a Bucket would have
Shut the neighbor trap.
