Anyone who has raised chickens knows that roosters can be very effective protectors of their flocks.

My parents had one when I was two years old that tried to kill me every time it caught me ungarded.

Painless killing is a human conception. Nature kills brutally. It is fortunate prey that is killed outright.

Speaking of conception is this any worse than the plunging of scissors and the brain suck sans anesthesia practiced in partial birth abortion.

Dismemberment while still alive, the human practitioners are actually more brutal. At least the eagle killed for food, the humans do it for profit.

My parents had one when I was two years old that tried to kill me every time it caught me ungarded.

We had one like that too. I must have been 3 or 4 and the rooster was about mid-thigh height to me. He pecked a hole in my leg one day and Dad went out, grabbed him by the head, gave a quick twist, and we had rooster for dinner. Dads can be very effective protecters too.
