The Insane Story About Feral Chickens That Once Terrorized An Island In Europe

by Jesse

Chickens are famous worldwide, and that's because of how delicious they are. 

Research even shows that for decades now, chicken has been the most popular protein in the United States. The U.S alone consumes as much as 15,000 metric tons of chicken, and China consumes as much as 12,000 yearly 

This love for chicken isn't limited to the U.S and China alone, as it's the second most popular meat worldwide. There are many reasons for this popularity, including the low cost of raising chickens, making it a cheaper option for many people.

The amount of chicken consumed worldwide means tons of them are killed daily. So for centuries, these flightless birds have remained the prey and not the predator. Well, that changed in 2019. 

A Redditor shared on the TIL subreddit that they had recently learned about a time when Feral chickens decided to fight back. These birds started a reign of terror on the residents of Jersey Island in 2019, one that witnesses will not forget in a hurry.

OP shared a link to an article for other Redditors to read about it. The article revealed that the chickens were moving in large groups of 100 and were causing quite a ruckus.

They were waking people at dawn, interrupting traffic, chasing joggers, and squashing gardens. Unsurprisingly animal rights activists had different views on tackling the situation, as opposed to solutions proposed by concerned residents.

Check out the full story below!

"Chickens are definitely a**holes."

"Ever been to Kauai? The chickens run that island."

The Reddit community sure had a lot to say about the Feral chicken gangs. It was surprising that "free food" was basically causing this many problems for people.

Some people buttressed the fact that angry chickens are a handful, while others assured that a chicken problem is no problem at all.

What do you think would have been the most appropriate way for the island to address this invasion, especially with animal rights advocates lurking?
