"CHESHIRE - A woman was charged Tuesday for shooting her husband in the back after he shot her pet chicken, the Lane County Sheriff's Office said.

Mary Kay Gray, 58, was arraigned Tuesday in Lane County Circuit Court on a charge of felony assault. She was being held in the Lane County Jail.

Her husband, Stanley Edward Gray, 43, was recovering from a single gunshot wound to the shoulder. The chicken died at the scene.

...

Deputies determined that Mary Gray intentionally shot her husband in the upper back with a .22-caliber rifle around 7:40 p.m., he said. It appeared to be an act of retaliation." (full story at link)

what kind of freak shoots a lady's pet? she's supposed to eat his shit because he's so much younger than she is?

i'm glad the lady has gonads to stand up for herself and for women and chickens everywhere

6. My grandma would have done that if someone had shot "Buffy". She adored

that chicken and it lived out a full, free-range life of eating seeds, bugs, and worms. She even bathed that chicken in hot weather.

27. I love that!

It's nice to know that not all chickens wind up in a roasting pan.

7. Poor chicken

Or maybe it's chickens-from the link:

Cheyenne Dickenson's family shares a driveway with the Gray home. She said the Grays moved in about a month ago. They live alone and often appear intoxicated, she said.

Dickenson arrived home Monday night and found police cars clustered at the bottom of the driveway. Deputies escorted her to her front door.

"It looked like `CSI,' " she said, referring to the popular television show. "There were dead chickens lying all over the place."

11. Chickens were made to be killed and eaten

the wife is out of line

17. Dogs and cats are just as edible as chickens.

You're letting yourself be influenced by popular opinion regarding what does and does not qualify as a food source. A pet is a pet, end of story.

[JVS]

18. I have no problem if you want to eat cats and dogs

My problem is soley with shooting people

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

26. Of course she shouldn't have shot him.

But in your previous post, you seemed to claim that she had no right to be upset at all over the chicken. I don't have a pet myself, but I like to think that if I did, and someone shot it, I'd be justified in responding violently, no matter what species the pet happened to be.

12. How many people would find this hilarious

if it was a cat?

[jpgray]

13. Cats can't shoot guns

That doesn't even make sense. :eyes:

:D

15. This is were I live... Lane County...

[bleedingheart]

16. Well you know..."Once you do chicken...you never go back"

19. A guy who shoots his wife's pets probably should be shot.

He should consider himself lucky that it was a .22 his wife shot him with and not a .44 like he used on the chickens.

[MountainLaurel]

25. Exactly.

In a large percentage of domestic violence cases, the perpetrator injures or kills the victim's pet, usually as a warming.

[Orrex]

20. An eye for an eye, a bullet for a poulet?

There's a joke in there about "coming home to roost," but decency and good taste forbid me to search for it...

[Pithlet]

21. Killing a partner's pet is abuse.

That should definitely be taken into consideration by the prosecutors.

[Crabby Appleton]

22. All I can say is

regular, or extra crispy?

[Lowell]

23. Has anyone notified the chicken's family?

The dirtbag got what he deserved. You don't shoot someone's pet.

[leftyladyfrommo]

24. Husbands should know better than to kill a woman's pet.

I probably would kill someone over that myself.

[zanne]

28. I know someone who shot his wife's dog for revenge.

I hate to say it, but I really think I would have done something violent to someone who hurt one of my pets. I don't think I'd be able to stop myself. Scary.

[leftyladyfrommo]

30. I know. I'm a really peaceful person but I can get violent over

any kind of abuse.

29. Thats a funky chicken story
