A Tragic Comedy

This was an article i read in the Daily Gleaner, yesterday, August 13, 2007. I just had to share.

A murder most 'fowl' - Hundreds of chickens die in heartbreaker
published: Monday | August 13, 2007

BERLIN, Germany (Reuters):

Three hundred chickens died in panic early yesterday when a drunken German teenager on a joyride crashed a van into their shed, police said.

"Apparently, some of the chickens were so desperate to get away that they ran into the wall and died," the spokesman said. "Others suffered heart attacks."

The 17-year-old from the western city of Kassel crashed the van through the wall of a shed containing around 1,000 birds and then returned to a nearby fairground where he was staying, according to a spokesman for the local police. The youth was arrested.

Now seriously, can u imagine.

So what occurred to me is this..."did they do and autopsy" on the chickens to determine cause of death? lol

lol, thanks for sharing. now I believe when they say "your brain is the size of a chicken" it was really literal. I wonder if there is a reason why the Gleaner post this in a Jamaica paper? They must be telling us something.
