Peaceful poultry lovers in the Urban Chicken Movement seek regulations permitting backyard fowl raising, but some activists are takin’ it to the streets. Hell-raising hens are on the loose across the country.
Radical movements flourish on college campuses, and this one is no exception. Emulating an extremist indigenous group at Harvard, a rogue chicken staged a lengthy occupation at Concordia University Chicago. Known only by the code name “Rocky,” the elusive avian anarchist was finally subdued and brought to a detention camp in Palos Park, Illinois for waterboarding fricaseeing interrogation.
Another rogue chicken staged a sit-in at California’s Glendale Community College, attracted a large following, and blockaded traffic on city streets. A chicken cadre is terrorizing Delray Florida, living in foreclosed suburban houses. Rebel chickens have infiltrated Brooklyn, occupied Key West, and fought battles in the New York subway.
Like the crusades of the Sixties, the Urban Chicken Movement started out with “Peace, Love, and Eggs,” then went underground and descended into violence, feathers, and guano. Feathered “free range” extremists strut everywhere with impunity. Is your town next?
