A woman in Australia was killed by a
rooster who pecked at her leg, puncturing a varicose vein that
hemorrhaged and caused her death.
The
76-year-old woman was gathering eggs from her rural property when the
rooster struck at her leg repeatedly, according to a study published in
late August in the journal Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology. She is unidentified to protect her family.
The
hemorrhage caused the woman to collapse and later die. She was
previously diagnosed with hypertension, type II diabetes and varicose
veins.

At least she wasn't HEN-pecked. *ROFL*
ReplyDeleteFor some reason the rooster eyeballed in on the varicose vein.
ReplyDeleteThey have excellent vision. The contents of the vein was his
intention. I've planted seeds into the ground and the rooster
would be thirty feet away, watching. And after I left the
vicinity, the rooster would come and see what I was doing and
scratch up the seeds and call the hens. I didn't anywhere
without a broom or a shovel.
Thanks for the info.
DeleteI wound up in the ER one time after our big rooster attacked me. When he died it was a happy day.
ReplyDeleteI would have had him for supper as soon as I got out. :)
