Rooster pecked Australian woman to death, medical journal reports
"This case demonstrates that even relatively small domestic animals may be able to inflict lethal injuries," pathologists involved in the research said.
An elderly Australian woman collecting eggs on her farm was fatally pecked by a rooster who targeted the victim's varicose veins, researchers said.
The findings, published in the journal Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology, were meant to show how even the smallest, most unthreatening animals can still inflict deadly wounds, according to University of Adelaide pathology professor Roger Byard and forensic pathologist Judith Fronczek.
================================================
Not too far from the wild despite many thousands of generations in domestication.
The chilling part is that the bird went for her obvious varicose veins, causing her to bleed to death.
Note to self: don't take up egg or chicken farming.
