Woman attacked driver that hit, killed chicken that was crossing the road, per police
-
It took me coming to the comments to notice that the word in the headline was chicken, not children. I was about to go OFF about those cops.
You still can. They suck.

Well yeah, it's not like I'd do something sick like pay to have a chicken's beak cut off while it's still alive.
Yeah and I definitely wouldn't condemn a species to factory farming just to suit my cultural norms of what lunch is

I was on her side until I read the article. She chased this person an unspecified distance in her car, blocked the chicken killer's car with her own, then attempted to open their car door, before settling on macing them.
Fuck that impatient chicken killer but you don’t get to do a road rage for some vigilante justice. This was just two psychopaths being brought together by circumstance.

hunting for food
Go to Wendy's
animal population control
Bring back the native big cats
There. Problem solved.
Go to Wendy's
Don't really see the difference between going to Wendy's to eat meat and hunting for meat. Well besides the fact that industrialized farming practices are less ethical.
Bring back the native big cats
We no longer have the same ecology that used to be able to support big cats and wolves, at least in North America. Native Americans spent generations changing the environment to make deer over plentiful. Add that to the destruction of nearly all old forest as European settlers moved west, and it makes it infeasible to utilize apex predators to control the population of deer in the vast majority of north America.

There is a correlative link between the willingness to hurt animals and psychopathy. You start out hiring animals and you are more likely to be okay hurting humans.
If people are going to choose to eat meat, then I would prefer that they are protected from the trauma that comes with animal killing.

I think you're conflating hunting with torturing animals for entertainment...

Not hunting, hurting. But hunting is hurting.
Too lazy to write details. Please forgive the reddit link.

Holy false equivalency Batman. There is a vast difference between hunting and torturing animals. It is a case where intent and what that one approaches the task has a substantial bearing on the individual's likelihood of anti-social personality disorder. An ethical hunter shows respect to the animal that they kill by doing their best to minimize suffering (this includes things like choice of weapon as well as ensuring that any game that they shoot it's tracked down so that they didn't suffer needlessly).
Do some people with anti-social personality disorder hunt? Yes. Some of them also eat at Wendy's. You sound like you're trying to invent a way to make yourself "better than" a large swath of people. I'd suggest that you practice some self-reflection.
I say this as someone who does not hunt but previously worked on a small poultry farm where I had to slaughter as well as euthanize animals. I've seen what good and bad quality of life does to animals. Ignoring the plight of factory farmed animals does not make you a better person.

Yes. Yes they are.

I was taught by my driving instructor to not try and avoid smaller animals because swerving or sudden breaking would be more likely to result in a major accident than simply plowing through it. Whereas larger animals medium sized dog for example could lead to a wider accident if you hit them.
Yeah when you're going at 70. Not 30.

The driver was able to avoid the car stopped in the road to let the chicken cross. Instead of stopping behind them and waiting, they pulled out to cut around the stopped car.
I see this kind of behaviour all the time in my neighbourhood, at a crosswalk with a “kids crossing” sign and curb barriers designed to keep people from cutting around on the right. If someone is stopped to make a left hand turn, they cut on the right anyway, and if someone is stopped to let a kid or an animal cross (animals cross there all the time), they cut on the left.
People have been hit at that intersection. But people still keep doing it.
Surely that's illegal. Driving on the opposite side of the road, into potentially oncoming traffic, at a pedestrian crossing with no visibility.
I think the problem is Americans just seem to drive like idiots.

I have a Belgian Malinois, which, if you're not aware, is basicallythe breed of dog used by military and police that aren't German Shepherds. They are absolute maniacs of dogs, full of all kinds of prey drive and herding instincts and such that have long-since been bred out of your average family pet.
So for a while when I still had a Facebook I followed a couple of Malinois pages to help me better understand what was going on in my dog's head.
Now some malinois owners are great, they understand the reasons why their dogs are the way they are and understand how to manage them properly.
Others are absolute assholes who just wanted the really cool supersoldier dog that can run up walls and eat bad guys, and don't really do anything to channel that energy properly
I remember one post in particular of some guy's dog "playing" with a turtle, picking it up, throwing it around, etc.
I'm a dog owner, I've at times dabbled in hunting, I'm an environmentalist and conservationist, I know what sort of laws are out there and what is and isn't allowed. And people are stupid and make entirely too much information about themselves available online.
So I could see from this guy's profile what state (and in fact what city he was in, what high school he went to what company he works for, etc.)
And I could easily Google what the laws in that state are
And lol and behold, allowing your dog to harass wildlife is not allowed in that state. There were fines, potentially prison time, the officials could even take your dog and have them destroyed over this. I think it might have even been legal, maybe even encouraged, in that state for anyone witnessing this happening to just shoot your dog on the spot.
I of course wasn't about to report this guy over this, I didn't want his dog put down or anything, I just wanted him to be a better, more responsible dog owner, so I pointed this out in the comments, that were, up until that point, mostly just other assholes jerking each other off over how cool malinois are.
He, of course, quickly took the past down after that.
But not before a whole bunch of people got really pissy about me looking at his profile (to see the information about himself that he made publicly available I guess?) and taking the time to Google the relevant laws in his state so that I could point out exactly why what he was doing wasn't just morally wrong but actually illegal.
There were disturbingly few people commenting on that post who were simply angry that this jackass was letting his dog fuck with a turtle.
As an aside, my dog is a rare "lazy" malinois. She's still more energetic and driven than pretty much any other dog I've ever met, there's a part of her that definitely wants to eat someone's face, but she's content to sleep on the couch all day instead. She definitely would chase some rabbits, deer, foxes, squirrels, etc. given the chance (I don't give her the chance,) and she's never seen a turtle, but she seems to like just sniffing and occasionally licking frogs and toads (I try not to let her, but she occasionally finds them before I do on our walks, the amphibians seem mildly annoyed by this, but not enough to hop away from her, and I make sure to get her away from them ASAP so that they can continue frogging undisturbed.)
Stalking people online is fucking creepy, no wonder people got "pissy".

I've spent a bit of time in the US and your assessment is absolutely correct. I've never seen so many car accidents. The highways were lined on both sides with bits of car in varying sizes.

Luckily I've never had to turn a cat inside out, but they frequently dart out infront of vehicles close enough that slamming on the breaks won't do much even at low speed. I have a friend who's cat died on a stretch of road that had a 30 km/h speed limit.
One of the best reasons to keep cats indoors, but yeah I said "likely" because exceptions do exist.

i don't know if you can really call it stalking if they're willingly making information about themselves available for anyone to see. I didn't have to so much as punch his name into google, just click his name at the top of his post and it was all there for anyone to see.
He didn't have to put his information out there and make it publicly available, but presumably he was ok with everyone on Facebook having access to that information about him.
And if he wasn't ok with that, it made him realize his error so he could address it.

But... Why was the chicken crossing the road?
Because he thought he was standing on the wrong side of the road

The driver who killed the chicken is a shit stain and she will eventually kill someone. Imagine if that a child, elderly person or someone on a wheelchair.
