Twenty years ago I took a flight home from the Dominican Republic that was totally full and there was a lot of commotion as people were getting situated. After everyone was sitting and we were preparing to take off, I heard what I thought was a chicken cluck. After a minute or so it got more frequent and louder and I was certain it was a bird. Other people noticed as well, and then the attendant came back and it was discovered that a fellow across the aisle a row ahead of me had a live fighting cock in a paper bag on his lap. The stewardess informed him that live animals were not permitted. In response, the angry passenger grabbed the bag and apparently killed the bird within the bag by twisting its neck. Everyone could hear the twist and crack. People were gasping, but incredibly this satisfied the attendant and away we went! How bizarre is that?

As awful as that is, that poor bird probably had a worse fate in store for him had that cretin not broken his neck.
That is hilarious!
Wow, that's barbaric. I hope he got charged for animal cruelty.
Cruelty? It's a chicken.
A chicken is a live animal Denim. The man also forced other passengers to witness a disturbing act, which I as an animal lover and vegetarian, would have reported as cruelty.
Cruelty? It was 20 years ago in the DR. I don't think that anyone really cared. Sure it might have been a shock, but then again, Its a stupid rooster.
He could have at least gone into the bathroom… o_O that is just WEIRD
You guys are seriously upset about a damn rooster getting killed? Good for you, vegetarian. Way to sit on the judgement seat. Nevermind that God gave us all MEAT to EAT.
I would have loved a nice rooster soup.
Adam and Eve were vegan fyi
We niggas doan considuh chikkens amminals. Dem jus' food.
Stuped cracka mufuggas!
How did he get the bird on? Thnakfully we have better security. And since when is flying with a dead, rotting bird better than flying with a live clucking bird?
I have heard this story before except it took place on a bus in san Francisco's Chinatown. Urban Legend methinks.
It was the Dominican Republic, so I highly doubt it.
So he twisted the neck of his Cock on a plane? How big was it? Did you taste?
He killed a living animal on a packed plane, so, even if it was just a "stupid bird" it was still disgusting and deserving of criminal prosecution.
Are you stupid nicole? Under what statute would the "defendant" be liable under?
People like you make me sick, so uptight about everything, the rooster was about to die anyways since it was a fight cock. The man just prevented himself from being caught in an illegal act.
That's pretty disturbing, I would have been scarred for life. I love chickens though, they're awfully cute!
I agree with Shenweeka, regardless of his poor syntax skills and racist remarks.
Actually, I don't fully agree, but the most HUMANE way I can think of to kill a chicken is to snap its neck. Or chop his head off. (Notice I said 'his' and not 'it.' Who says I can't be diplomatic?)
He choked the chicken?!
i love southern fried chicken
I love the fact people are looking at this chicken as if it's a "dumb animal". Guess what you are? A dumb animal, and even more dumb for not even taking into consideration the fact that the chicken lives, breathes and sees just like you. It's alive and has a gender, you retard. The fact that it was "Going to die anyway" doesn't mean that it should be killed. Obviously, it's dying from animal cruelty either way.
Actually, that last paragraph is invalid. I think people were sickened by that because it was killed publicly in front of others. Animals should be able to live a good life, like a pet, then be slaughtered humanely for meat. It's fighting animals that are disgusting.
