I've posted before about
dogs who commit suicide, so when I saw this story about a
chicken who committed suicide I thought I better add it to the site:
The man's son said that the chicken probably decided to kill itself being unable to lead the horrible life in the provincial village. The chicken is a vulnerable and sensitive bird that might not have the energy to handle stressful situations. Most likely, the Russian suicidal chicken has lost the will to live. The poor bird was not left hanging on the fence: it was cooked and eaten.
Maybe I'll have to start a new category for suicidal animals.

1st. attempt: It managed to get out of cage only to jump in a glass of soda. My mother found it treding the soda and saved it.
2nd attempt: Tried to hang itself by jumping off the back of a dresser and it's head got stuck. We found it by looking under the dresser and seeing the tail dangling.
3rd attempt: It got stuck in the mouse trap. It broke it's back...We took to vet to have laid to rest.
If the gerbil was treading "soda" when your mum found it then obviously it was trying to LIVE not die! Otherwise it would have just said, "What the hell, sunk to the bottom, and called it a day." Maybe you just had it out for the gerbil??? 😕
Think that's self mutilation?
I wonder if that counts as suicide, but i was laughing too hard to think stuff like that.
Yup, he's a moron. he probably did that for attention anyways, but he didn't get any since I walked right by him. Stupid kids dont' deserve my time.
IMO, I think the chicken was murdered, and this is just a crazy attempt to cover it up.
