‘Vicious’ Rooster Attacks Pedestrians in Small Arkansas City

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Leaders of a small Arkansas city are planning to draft an ordinance next month addressing a problematic rooster that has been attacking pedestrians. Jasper Mayor Jan Larson said something has to be done about the rooster that chases people as they walk in the street. The rooster Larson called “vicious” began patrolling the sidewalk and street in front of a house nearly a month ago, chasing people who walked by. Animal experts note that running away from roosters only encourages them their pursuit. The Police Chief Michael Henderson said there have been lots of complaints about the rooster, but so far no injuries. The rooster has been a major topic of discussion at the City Council’s last two meetings.
