This Is What Happens When You Mess With Our Cars

Ha ha, remember last week when that owl osprey shrew fox puppet giant sloth parked car red-tailed hawk blocked I-95 and made everyone late to work? (Of course you do. it’s still even on the front page.)

Well, apparently the motorists had their revenge, since on Friday the hawk was killed due to injuries sustained during her traffic blockage. Both of her wings were broken, and there was no way to correct the bone fractures.

Doctor Michele Goodman explained the decision:

“It’s just not to fair to subject a young raptor to the life of a chicken,” she said.

I’m waiting, chicken lovers/breeders/whatever, for your angry protests against this gallus-hating doctor.
