Rooster Pecked Woman to Death in 'Rare' Attack

[Turd Fergusen]

On the heels of a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) about backyard chickens spreading illness to people in 49 states comes a harrowing tale about a woman who was killed by a rooster that delivered a lethal strike to a varicose vein in her leg.

According to the report, which was published in the journal Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology, the 76-year-old had been collecting eggs at her home in Australia when the aggressive rooster attacked her lower-left leg. The woman collapsed, with an autopsy later revealing two small lacerations on her leg, including one on a varicose vein, LiveScience reported.

Her cause of death was listed as exsanguination, which is a severe loss of blood, caused by the rooster’s aggressive pecking. The attack is considered “rare” by the report’s authors, with one telling LiveScience that it “demonstrates that even relatively small domestic animals may be able to inflict lethal injuries in individuals if there are specific vascular vulnerabilities present.”

Oh shit...it's a chicken uprising!

 

[Norcal Skim]

We have a bunch of chickens in our backyard...

I think they are plotting something!

 

[tmdgirl]

Definitely not on anyone's top ten list of ways to die....I wonder how long it took for her to pass (not being gory or morbid), just curious as to if she noticed the wound bleeding like crazy or if it was less noticeable, and she didn't think it was as serious as it was.

chickens are not all that domesticated. I grew up around all kinds of farm animals and I would have to say that roosters scare me the most.

Actually the chicken didn't exactly kill her, he just had the good fortune to hit her in just the right spot. She won't be messing with his hens and chicks anymore.

Death by pico de gallo.

Now I want Mexican.

 

[Satanica]

The hell they don't rarely attack! I think what they meant was they rarely kill but not because they wouldn't like to!

 

[Turd Fergusen]

Almost two full hours and no "death by cock" jokes??

You guys are really letting me down.

 

[Brillig]

What an embarrassingly lame way to die.

 

[The Night Nurse]

I'm betting it hit the femoral artery.

@Turd Fergusen - I came here only to point out that the poor lady got more cock than she could handle.

 

[Totemic]

So now we know where @ghosttruck's missing rooster went.

Here I was thinking Alfred Hitchcock meets KFC, but nope.

Exactly what I was going to say

 

[Babs]

Well now, isn't he a nasty little pecker!

 

[Old Man Metal]

The hell they don't rarely attack!

No doubt. Roosters can be ruthless. I got my ass kicked by a usurper rooster once.

Once.

He spurred me up under my kneecap, and I limped for two weeks.

Every time I went to get eggs after that, I had to whack him with a stick at least twice (sometimes four or five times) to keep my losing streak to one. He was a mean motherfucker, but a great protector.

And thus the legend of El Pollo de Muerto started.

I have varicose veins. Should I avoid chicken

 

[roadsidehorror]

This article almost reads like a scare piece to get you to stop raising your own chickens and start buying Tysons....

 

[DamagedGoods]

At least the sort with peckers.

Before I had hens, it was just me and this rooster, General Patton. He was the best pet ever. Followed me everywhere, ate politely out of my hand. Then I got a few hens and he turned into a psycho bastard. Drew blood on me a few times. He also flayed his own hens and attacked the goat. He became chicken and dumplings.

That's a nice rooster there. Bet that was a big pot of chicken and dumplings.

Our last rooster was more laid back, but still a good protector. He was the ballsiest out of (I think) six Welsumer males we bought to get the genetics when we started incubating our own eggs. He got fucked up defending the hens from something about a year ago and didn't make it, so they're on their own now. This is him:

I do not like birds. Beaks and talons and whatnot. No thank you.
