Guess we’ll have to wait for the trial:
A four-year-old girl has suffered neck and face wounds after being attacked by a rooster in central western New South Wales.
The girl was taken to Orange Base Hospital and later transferred to a children’s hospital in Sydney.
It is not known why the rooster attacked.
UPDATE. Reader Santina emails: “This post brought back memories of a rooster we had at the farm: Ivan the Terrible. He was a treacherous rooster of the worst kind. Always attacking you when your back was turned. Visitors were warned not to go near him.
“But one day he met his match. The fool bird tried to peck one of our mares, the lovely Odabella. You can imagine the outcome. He was attempting to peck her on her HIND legs. Well, she let fly with both barrels, and I was fortunate to witness the outcome. A flying rooster was rocketed high into the air and landed in the next paddock. An appropriate ending for such a violent bird.”
UPDATE II. Currency Lad writes: “Santina’s story is the best thing I’ve read this week.” I’ll second that.
- It’s because, as anyone who’s been around a farm knows, chickens are dirty, idiotic, vicious, mean-spirited animals. That’s pretty much it.Posted by Aaron – Freewill on 2006 03 28 at 12:02 AM • permalink
- I am not saying I support these kooks, but millions of Americans will tell you that the rooster was not responsible.
And so what if you have video evidence – how would you go if you were pumped full of steroids and cooped up all day?

- Remember people, it is not the rooster’s fault he is a vicious monster – that is the fault of the owners.
Most rooster owners are responsible and it is just a few bad eggs who breed their birds for fighting and gives the rest of them a bad name. Unless of course, this particular rooster was crossed with a pitbull or something.
Either that or someone fed it Viagra – I’ve heard that fires cocks up nicely.

- Police are dumfounded as to how the plan was hatched but it appears that the rooster had recently been in an Indonesian village before fleeing the coop. Some of the evidence has been scrambled but after some scratching around we have come to the conclusion that the cock’s thrusts werean attempt on the girls life. There were others involved, but they were too chicken to join in.

- Going by the courage exhibited in Middle Eastern attacks on unarmed civilians and kiddies looking for a hand-out of lollies, Islam is the religion of chickens.
Case closed- he was rightfully upholding Sha’ria and punishing the harlot in question for freely exposing her face in public.
Sounds like the chook in question is more devout than the dingleberry with the Jeep- he managed to do more actual damage ot an unbeliever; what’s his reward though- 72 eggs?
- I’m betting he gets off with community service if he fronts one of the progressive beaks on the bench in NSW. I’d say his counsel will try to wing it, because the prosecutor will be a featherweight.
The feathery bastard will no doubt be crowing to the media outside court when he struts out- personally, I reckon he should fry.
- Maybe a DNA test should be done; I have my suspicions as to the actual identity of the assailant.

- O/T – The Danish cartoons were the tip of the iceberg. Denmark is stuffed. Tech Central Station reports—
Leader Fadi Abdullatif (who had previously received a 60-day sentence for threatening to kill Jews) turned his wrath on Denmark’s popular bicycle-riding sovereign, Queen Margarethe II, whom he accused of involvement in a “conspiracy” with Jyllands-Posten and Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen to “harm Islam.” The state prosecutor, under pressure from Muslim groups, declined to bring charges.
Historically, non-Muslim minorities (i.e., Jews and Christians) could escape the ravages of violent jihad only by surrendering to Islamic domination through a treaty of agreed-upon subjugation and oppression (dhimma) that turned them into “protected persons” (dhimmis) with second class status within the real of Islam. Today, it seems that even non-Muslim majorities (in Denmark) are requested to descend into dhimmitude to avoid the wrath of some new immigrants.
At the risk of overquoting I’ll sneak this in:
These incidents, all disturbing, don’t even scratch the surface of the appeasement Danes have made to accommodate the people who unleashed violence against them. In Copenhagen’s public schools, the only food available to students—regardless of their religious affiliation or lack thereof—are Halal (prepared according to Islamic dietary requirements).

- Sure there are some jokes on this thread, but what shines through is a genuine understanding that the chicken itself is not to blame.
Everyone has baulked at the simplistic idea that the chicken is to blame.
At last some common ground with Robert Fisk, who would not only have baulked at the idea, he would have baulked, baulked, baulked…

- As a lifelong Eastern Suburbs/Sydney City (‘the Roosters’ to those not familiar with Australian Rugby League) fan I am comforted by this news.
As a kid I always felt slightly embarrassed by the pathetic-ness of our mascot – a lousy rooster up against teams represented by real killers like sharks, tigers, panthers, bulldogs or bears. Of course, rabbits were even more pathetic, a point not lost on most Roosters teams since about 1972.
Now our chooks have shown themselves to be pathetic no more…
Now if only you can find some news about somebody getting killed by a swan…

Hail fellow roosters fan.
Re swans: some years ago I worked in the NSW police media unit when I did receive a report of a fatality suffered by a water-skier who ran into a flock of swans… no word of a lie.
I’m guessing Tim Bla-eurgh – the chap who interrupts conversations on this website is more likely to be interested in Magpie incidents however.

- O/T – A ‘World’s Small Violin’ moment:
Australia’s worst mass murderer has become an overweight “zombie” who refuses to speak, his mother and doctors say.
“Martin is like a zombie,” [says his mother]…“He won’t speak; he just stares into the middle distance. I can sit in front of him for 15 minutes and he says nothing.”
A doctor who has seen Bryant recently told the magazine: “He is an overweight, shambolic wreck. “If the community wanted a severe punishment for Mr Bryant, then they have it,” the unnamed doctor says. “What he has now is far worse than the death penalty.”
Awwww, diddums. Good.

- NEWSFLASH:
The rooster has been captured and is pictured here being led away by cock handler Cletis.
- Well, I sort of expected this. Stoop Davy Dave has been going from farm to farm, proselyzing his radical fundamentalist brand of goat supremacy. Evidently it’s spread to the chicken house. Don’t be surprised if sheep attacks are next. If I were New Zealand, I wouldn’t be sleeping well at night.
PW, are you or are you not ready to remove Stoop Davy Dave’s surgically concocted goat disguise?

- Nothing makes a man’s blood run cold like the roosters’ victory call in the early morning http://rhhardin.home.mindspring.com/bird301.ram after they have found a small child and devoured it.
A bird of peace, some say. Yet they don’t release roosters at the Olympics.

Next it will be cows with guns.
And then chickens in choppers.

- In the mid-1970s, I lived in what was then a rough neighborhood of Chicago. One of other tenants in my buildings was a Puerto Rican fellow who claimed to be a sorcerer; he’d cast spells using a rooster as his familiar. That bird was mean enough to be possessed, because it would peck anyone who went through the backyard, even to carry out the garbage.
Well, one day a couple of cops come round the back to answer a call about a domestic disturbance, when the rooster goes after them. One of them went to draw his revolver, when the other one just grabbed the bird by the neck, whirled it around his head a couple times, then cracked it like a whip. The head stayed in his hand, the body went flying, and that was the end of the bird. The “sorcerer” went ape-shit and claimed police brutality, but nothing came of it; nor, to my knowledge, was the cop ever turned into a toad.
But ever since then, I’ve made it a point to avoid roosters.

- Living in a semi-rural area, my mother has kept chickens (for eggs) for more than 20 years (mostly fancy breeds that don’t lay many eggs – including a barred rock hen that lived for 14 years) and she has occasionally had a rooster, which were always beligerant little shits… until the araucana she has now. He’s very protective of the hens, but is tame enough to picked up without a fuss.Posted by Spiny Norman on 2006 03 28 at 02:03 PM • permalink
- But did the violent rooster crow Allah during the attack? If not, it was likely just another run-of-the mill, infidel bird and deserved whatever punishment it got. (From LGF)Posted by Polish Frizzle on 2006 03 28 at 02:39 PM • permalink
- What about your Kangaroos down there! I went to one of those feeding zoos’ just outside of Brisbane. I was feeding one of those little fellas when I felt a very sharp yank,er,pull on my leg. I turned around to find a huge Kangaroo standing there. Needless to say, the rest of the food was his.

- PW,
Nah it’s not Stoop’s fault but rather the typical incompetence of Q Branch using cut-rate materials. I had trouble with the fastenings of the moose infiltration bionic disguise I was trying out in Canada at the time of the Canadian elections. That was the time when I saw a Liberal Party activist waving a wad of cash in front of some chick’s face trying to get her to vote Liberal (or something, I never found out what he really wanted) and it turned out to be Wronwright.Karl really needs to do something about Q Branch.
