Hooked on grief?
Here’s a great story, found via Liberal England:
Flowers and tributes were left in an alleyway where the body of a mystery dead baby was found - before police realised it was only a chicken foetus.
…
Police cordoned off the scene but soon realised that it was not a human but a chicken foetus.
Well-wishers had laid more than a dozen bunches of flowers at the scene, along with cards and teddy bears.
One of the cards read: “RIP Little Baby. Safe in the arms of Jesus. From someone who is a loving mother xxxx.”
And where was this much mourned chicken foetus?
Merseyside Police told the community on Monday to “stop grieving, it’s only a chicken”.
Priceless.
