The chicken could have easily been a pedestrian, good on the lady for stopping and I totally understand her frustrations.
Wish the other driver get her license suspended for reckless endangerment or something along those lines.
Also, why did the Chicken cross the road?
To highlight the carbrained idiot.
That could have easily been a child in the road, idiot driver deserves to be maced, tarred and feathered
I mean i have chickens as pets and i like them very much. I treat them like other people treat their dogs or cats that they love. I would definitely be absolutely furious if someone drives over one. No real reason to what if the situation. Just because other people see them as a worthles food source doesn't mean that goes for everyone
I once saw a pickup truck drive into the shoulder of a road to intentionally murder a mother duck and her babies that were just standing there.
I'm not questioning if what she did was right or wrong but I get it. I fucking get why she did what she did.
Oh I think it's right to stand up for those who can't (within reason, and invitation). However in this case, I'd 100% beat that ass or swallow my own teeth in trying, just to avenge nature trying to live along with the rest of us.
And a MOTHER too, with her chicks???? Ooo my godd.
A woman who stopped at an intersection to allow a chicken to cross the road allegedly attacked another driver with bear mace for killing the bird.

That's one hell of a URL.
That's a second degree SEO leak.
This time the chicken got to the other "other side"
Not all heroes wear capes
I can sort of sympathize with the woman's rage since this was an intersection where the other driver should have stopped perhaps and tried to save the chicken. But she shouldn't have assaulted the other driver...
Much worse was this story
When i made my drivers license i learned that you're not supposed to stop for animals because it's dangerous. And i totally get the point, if you swerve around and hit someone or drive off a cliff, it's not very smart. But if you just stop, whoever drives behind you has to be ready. Hell that's even how insurance work, if you rear end someone, it's your fault because you were driving too close.
A friend of mine one got his car totaled becasue a truck in front of him lost his whole ass transmission or something. And at the end it wasn't the guys fault who scattered part of his car, it was his fault for not being able to react in time.
