RIDGECREST, CALIF. - A chicken fined $54 for crossing a road in California has had the charge thrown out in court.

The ticket was dismissed after a lawyer for the bird's owners argued that it was domesticated, not livestock.

Under state law, it's illegal for livestock to be on highways. Domestic animals are free to get to the other side.

Linc and Helena Moore were fined on March 26 after their chicken wandered onto a road in the rural mining town of Johannesburg.

They said the sheriff's office targeted them because they had repeatedly complained that deputies weren't effectively policing the drivers of off-road vehicles.

"For the last two and a half years, no one has been able to stop the kids riding their bikes in the middle of the road or the neighbors' dogs running around our neighborhood," Linc Moore was quoted as saying.

"But when our chicken escaped and crossed the road once it became a huge issue."

The sheriff's office denies the accusations.

If i had a pet chicken, I'd eat it eventually. chicken is sooo good!

So, your saying... if you had a pet chicken, that you grew to adore and care for you could still kill it and eat it?!

#16 (**permalink**) May 31, 05

Depends on how hungry I was and how much I craved chicken at the time.

How could you become attached to a chicken anyways? they're useless creatures. They have wings but they cant fly? whattupwith that

Bitchin · #17 (**permalink**) May 31, 05

You're fucked. Why am I friends with you again?

Asking how you could become attached to a chicken is like asking how you can become attached to a dog or cat.

ALSO, when I was in grade 3, we raised 17 chicks in my class. it was very emotions name when tweety died.

RIP.

I Along with PETA salute McDonalds for switching from the incredibly inhumane
3" cage to the very human 4" cage for the beakless eyeless masses they call chickens.

Anyone know where the fuck "chicken nuggets" are harvested from ?
