Iâve got a mug from a town I used to live in. Itâs a rooster with the name âShitty Larryâ written across it. He was a local celeb. A rooster so badly behaved he had to be rehomed, and the people who adopted him created a whole lifestyle around dealing with his âanticsâ.
As I was leaving, Fucking Frank was also coming into the spotlight.
Theyâre assholes. But they taste good.

Far to many people that have no experience with animals give them human thoughts and competency.

Anthropomorphism.
Thatâs a mouth full.
Sometimes it seems we are too evolved for our own good but I like to think this tendency of ours will lead to a greater good.

That theory goes out the window when you have a city sliker meet a farm animal in person. One of my favorite childhood pass times was seeing city blokes cower in fear of petting a chicken or goat especially when that same person has pictures of chickens in their home because they are cute

Thatâs just a whole lot of confirmation bias speaking. Most people are gonna hesitate when they encounter totally new things thatâs not unique to people from any type of place.

The goat I understand. Those fuckers are mean, and they bite. Who TF is afraid of a chicken? Turkey, sure. Again, they are mean and big enough to fight back. The chickens found out that they âcanâ become soccer balls if they piss off the ape that is bringing them food.

Have you not met any chickens? They can be downright NASTY. And a lot of people donât have it in them to kick a chicken.

Youâd be surprised by how many blokes are afraid of the adorable little balls of feathers that are always running away from them
