Great point.
That hind leg disemboweling tactic is a favorite of toms in a death struggle.
Its mean, its ugly, and its REALLY effective. I’ve seen dogs lose intestines to it.
A toddler would be seriously injured in such a case.
Most folks have no idea to what we are referring.
I had a 2lb game hen absolutely kick my ass one day as I was going in to change her water. Her clutch of eggs I’d been helping to keep clean and protect evidently started cheeping, because she jumped up 5ft at me and put a big bloody X on my arm.
And this was a pet chicken, as in came to be petted.
