Police: Florida Woman Attacks Driver for Killing Chicken Crossing a Road
Breitbart ^ | July 18, 2025 | Amy Furr

A Florida woman is accused of attacking another driver after that person ran over a chicken crossing a road in Key West, Florida, on July 9, police said.

The suspect in the case was identified as 38-year-old Cynthia Diaz Sosa who told officers with the Key West Police Department she had stopped her car on Petronia Street and was “waiting to let a chicken cross the road” when the situation grew tense, Law and Crime reported Tuesday.

The other driver apparently grew frustrated and began honking, eventually passing the suspect’s vehicle. That driver reportedly ran over the chicken and killed it.

Sosa claimed she wanted to teach that driver “a lesson” and pursued her. When she caught up to the other drive, Sosa allegedly tried to open the other driver’s door. When she finally got it open, Sosa allegedly attacked the driver and someone else in the vehicle with bear spray as the chaos unfolded.

Police later found the suspect and she was arrested on two counts of aggravated battery along with other charges.

Social media users had mixed reactions on the chicken situation, one person writing, “I don’t see an issue here, let my girl go free. And rip chicken.”

“Gotta admit, I’m kinda on the fence with this one. Which is probably where the chicken should’ve stayed,” another user commented, while someone else said, “I mean… she did right by the bird.”

Feral chickens became a common sight in Key West after settlers arrived in the 1820s, according to CBS News.

Corey Malcolm, who is the lead historian for the Florida Keys History Center, said the settlers sold the fowl to residents and years later when the Cuban migration began they brought cockfighting with them.

Why'd the chicken cross the road?
To get from the left to the right
He stepped out of rank, got hit by a tank
He ain't no chicken no more

“...If anyone has ever been to KW you will know that those dam things are everywhere and they’re not in any hurry to move. My favorite breakfast restaurant (Blue Heaven) has them all over the dining area...”

I dunno. Last time I was in KW (’18), the iguanas were squeezing out the chickens, AND the multi-toed stray cats hanging around Hemingway House.

She was carrying bear spray? How often is bear spray needed on Key West to protect yourself from bears?

Sounds like she was hunting not protecting herself.

It’s the hypocrisy of sick people who claim to support life but do not support human life.

She's got bear spray? In Key West? I guess Key West has changed a lot. Feral chickens and feral bears.

Key West is full of oddballs and weirdos who take its unique aspects to heart — such as an abundance of feral chickens.

It was pretty much just cats, in the ‘80s.

“aggravated battery and other charges”

She needs a federal charge of using the bear spray other as intended by the label. *Clearly printed on the can.

I was in Key West 1986 - 1987, on the Truman Annex of the Navy Base. I didn’t see many feral animals, but I did see lots of feral young women.

Homage To Florida Mojo

There was a young couple from Florida
Whose passion grew steadily torrider;
They had planned to sin
At a room in the inn,
But impatient, they screwed in the corridor.

For the record, when the "use by date" expires for chickens, ducks, and some other feathered -types . . . in some parts of a country, these birds are let loose . . . and they meet a variety of endings.
