We have a family friend that is a vet, and she came over and said the bird needed to be put down. We didn't think it was that bad, but the vet lifted her wing up and her side was cut wide open, you could see all her ribs. It was really sad, but we gave her a good life, and I find comfort in that.
Sorry to hear about that. What breeds of chickens do you have?
Here's a little COMMON sense for you, he has done nothing illegal. Let the warden show up to his house, without a dead bird and proof that he shot it there's nothing they can do. There is nothing "to get out of". Go ahead and actually call the wardens, let them know that on the intardnet some kid said that if he shot a bird, no one would know. They take a lot of flak, I'm sure a free chuckle would do them good.
Whether he dose it or not, if the game warden receives any tip of a possible illegal raptor shooting, they take it serious and investigate it. If they do not find anything, great. It dose not matter how they received the tip, they will investigate it.
Would you go around in the public and talk about killing somebody? Even though you have not committed the crime, law enforcement will take it as a threat. Making threats dose not make you above the law. There is common scene for you.
QUit being a wuss take a shotgun and off the bird and while your at it deal with the oakranger....
Orrr let the chickens that survive continue training to become top fighters in chinatown
You have no clue how serious Tupac get get into on a state and federal law if he shot one of these birds. It may be a bird to you, but they are protected.
