Smart Ass Chicken Gets What's Coming To It

The chicken, here passed out after a night of binge drinking, would usually spend his days smoking and swearing

Three boys were arrested for allegedly torturing a chicken to death by lighting it on fire at Evergreen Camp in Lawrence. The Boston Globe reports:

The tape allegedly show[s] the boys, whose identities were not released because of their age, beating the chickens with fishing rods and lacrosse sticks and setting one on fire using a lighter and aerosol can, killing it...

"In the 30 years I've been doing this, I've seen a lot, but this is very disturbing to watch," said Andover police Lt. Kevin Winters.

"The way they came in and killed the chickens -- I'm appalled," said Jim Loscutoff Sr., a former Boston Celtics player and founder of Evergreen Camp.

But the boys tell a different story. "That chicken was a loudmouthed asshole," said Jimmy, one of the three boys accused of committing the killing. "We could only take so much sh** from that chicken. He crossed the line and we snapped."

Danny, the oldest of the three, agrees. "He'd come in and say things like: 'Hey Danny, how's your boyfriend?', or 'You afraid of a chicken, chicken?', or just burn me with his cigarette. It was just too much."

Bobby, the yougest, was too emotionally disturbed to comment.

Thousand of 'peep porn' images were found on the chicken's computer, many too graphic to post here

The chicken was also reported to be a whore-mongering, chain-smoking drunkard by various camp personnel. He "talked like a drunken sailor" and "always had an attitude." The chicken allegedly was screaming curse words at the boys when he attacked Danny. One of the boys squirted lighter fluid on the chicken to stop his violent attack. The cigarette ignited the fluid and "poof, extra crispy chicken."

The boy's parents blame inadequate security at the camp for the incident.
