That's nothing to scratch at. - Today's animal oddity clucks, well it used too, from China.
Ananova™ is reporting the oddity where a police siren went off 33 feet away from 435 chicks while someone was endeavoring to repair it.
Thirty five of the birds died on the spot and another 400 died later of shock, says the Procuratorate Daily newspaper.
A court ordered the police to compensate the farmer for the 35 chickens that died first, but said it couldn't be proved they were to blame for the other deaths.
Guess that explains why you don't see a lot of thieving chickens. They can't handle the police chases.
