Do you really want to know?

Why did the chicken cross the road?  Why do you care?  Who wants to know?  I say leave the chicken alone.

Friends, I envision a day when chickens can cross the road without having their intentions put into question.  Why is it that our barnyard friend, the chicken, under constant surveillance?  And worse yet; such a common action, crossing a road (we all do it folks), is the basis of our chicken-centric society.  Imagine being asked thousands of times per occasion by virtually every person you meet, "why did you cross the road?  This kind of repeated interrogation can create huge amounts of stress and lead to hypertension, which shortens the average chicken's life by 5 years.

The current state of affairs in the chicken community is deplorable.  Or so I have been told, many chicken settlements have opted to remove any and all roads in out and within the settlement and I have been unable to reach them myself due to the lack of roads.

Chickens have long felt the stigma places upon them by human society.  This treatment is unfair and is a blatant example of specism.  To add to the problem is the sick desire of children who seeming delight in the opportunity to repeatedly question a chicken about his or her road crossing habits and motives.  The enthusiasm in which these children hazard increasingly bizarre and illogical reasons is an insult to the chickens behavior as well as the child's respect towards others.

So why did the chicken cross the road?  Because it was tired of being bothered by people like you. Leave the chicken alone.
