Help for troubled chickens
try another castle:
Maybe this could be Hitchcock's dramatic sequel.
"The Chickens"
The movie trailer would say:
"This time, terror comes from the ground."
The whole film would be Tippy being chased around the yard by an irate rooster.
BOCK!
SurRobinHood:
I remember eating key west chickens. The populations were kept down by people like me living on the street eating them. When they chased all the street people off they had a population boom and had to start paying people to trap and remove them. What a wastefull society we have.

Mayor, mayor! Please save us from these chickens!
But... I'm not your mayor and, uh, they're chickens.
But, they make noise and we hate them!
But... they're chickens. Just eat them.
But we're helpless victims, what shall we do? The chickens are taking over the world and before too long, why, we'll be tripping over them and slipping on chicken shit and somebody might break a hip and then sue the city for failure to protect us from these dangerous chickens!
Uh.... I'm not your fucking mayor!

Col. Sanders tribute draws squawks
BY ROGER ALFORD | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FRANKFORT - First came calls to remove the statue of Confederate President Jefferson Davis from the state Capitol. Now, another famous Kentuckian is under fire.
An animal rights group is calling for the bust of Colonel Harland Sanders - founder of KFC - to be hauled out. Television star Pamela Anderson is leading the charge.
"The bust of Colonel Sanders stands as a monument to cruelty and has no place in the Kentucky state Capitol," Anderson said in a statement issued by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, an animal rights group based in Norfolk, Va.
The suggestion didn't ruffle feathers in Gov. Ernie Fletcher's office.
"We certainly appreciate everyone's right to an opinion," spokeswoman Jodi Whitaker said. "Colonel Sanders was one of Kentucky's most distinguished citizens, a great entrepreneur and a fine charitable man of faith, and he certainly has a place in Kentucky history. We believe he warrants appropriate recognition as such."
Anderson has been involved in a public relations campaign to raise awareness of what she calls abuse of chickens in processing plants that supply poultry to the Louisville-based chicken chain.
In a letter to Fletcher, Anderson detailed alleged abuses of chickens by KFC suppliers. Among her claims, she said workers in a slaughterhouse in West Virginia have been filmed tearing the heads off live birds, spitting tobacco in their eyes, spray-painting their faces and slamming them on the ground.
"We felt the bust of Colonel Sanders is inappropriate in the state Capitol because it portrays a man who founded a company that treats chickens in a way that would be illegal if dogs or cats were the victims," said Matt Prescott, a spokesman for PETA.
KFC spokeswoman Laurie Schalow said "this is just another misguided publicity stunt by PETA in their attempt to create a vegan society."
Another display in the Capitol that has stirred controversy is the statue of Davis, a Kentucky native who served as president of the Confederacy during the Civil War. Black leaders unsuccessfully called two years ago for it to be moved to a less visible spot in the Kentucky History Center.
A likeness of former president Abraham Lincoln, also a native Kentuckian, also stands in the rotunda. Lincoln, who has the largest statue, is in the middle while Davis stands in the corner. Statues of Henry Clay, Dr. Ephraim McDowell and Alben Barkley also are in the rotunda.
