animals don't just tend to randomly attack people

True in general, but we had roosters, and they sure do randomly attack people. At least it looks random, ie unpredictable. I think it's because they sometimes feel they are defending their hens and territory.

We had to give away the roosters partly because of this behavior. One attacked someone who was visiting us, or rather attacked the purse she was holding. Not sure why.

I had mean red rooster like that. He would always attack nprovoked. My young daughters could pick him up. He never menaced them.

Yes, that kind of thing seems typical of roosters.

One day I went in the back yard, and the yard was littered with County letter head appraisal sheets, of my property and the neighbors on my street. I envisioned that the appraiser was in my back yard, and saw Carl running at her at full gate leaping and pushing his spurs at her/him. So the appraiser must have tossed the papers and got the hell out of there. A week later our landlord told us, we had to get rid of the Rooster. She said she knows someone in Miami with a farm. She probably took it to a Rooster fighting ring, which I'm sure Carl rang supreme champ. Carl stood about 28 inches from feet to head. And had a wingspan like 3 feet, he was big freaking mean red rooster.

Yes, and if they have the spurs they can fuck you up. Some farmers clip off the spurs.

He's probably messing with the woman that constantly abuses him. You are not likely looking at the reason she attacked the rooster, by rather why the rooster attacked her.

Nah. He's trying to dominate her. Chickens don't have very big brains.

We used to raise chickens and you could always tell the pecking order. The dominant rooster was immaculate, not a feather out of place. Number two had a couple loose feathers. On down the line until you get to the low bird who definitely had some bald spots. Roosters are mostly bluff. When I was a kid I had to clean out their pens. Always some rooster trying to attack me. A couple of punts across the coop and they give up.

Now Geese, which we also raised, are very territorial. They would attack my mother. I found the best defense against a goose attack, wings out head down neck extended, is to dribble their heads when they get close enough. We had some trouble with racoons. They got some chickens but never touched our geese.

I wouldn't eat a dog. I feel sorry for cows and pigs no matter how tasty they are, but I have no compunction against eating chickens.

That lady had a right to defend herself against that little bastard.

Pecking order. Stupid rooster perceived the purse as a threat,

Reptilian (birds are dinosaur descendants) brain tells the beast to escape from anything bigger that moves and try to eat anything that moves smaller than it.

I bet you're right.

We noticed that our chickens would attack a lower-status chicken that was literally higher, like on a higher branch. Maybe the purse looked like a rival rooster higher up. I think it was a red purse.

Is this just a nice way of describing castration and submission?

The video isn't a one time deathmatch fight. She's walking by and the rooster attacks her and the attack and her reaction is edited and spliced together.
Who knows how many times the rooster attacked her before she started fighting back. Notice the rooster keeps challenging her though.

Run away from all doctors!

If you must see a doctor, stay away from the minorities (aside from Asians) because they were admitted with far lower test scores and grades.

Asian doctors have the highest qualifications on average, then whites.

Yeah, Asians are the most discriminated against in medicine. Between white and an Asian doctor, go Asian, and I'm white.

This is kind of ironic, because my childhood doctor was black, and I was born in 1971. He was tremendously intelligent. He didn't get in through any DEI bullshit, he really was brilliant, his daughter became a surgeon - back then, I would have said, go to black doctor. They were intensely discriminated against.

Meritocracy is the only way to go. We knew this at least 40 years ago. He came to our backwater as a kind of charity (or he was forced to?) - I don't know. I honestly think he saw us as a bunch of backwater hicks, and he was stuck in hell for a few years to prove himself. He went back to UCLA at one point to teach and some hospital to practice medicine.

The versions of me I hope is in other's minds.

They have faked it so long and so successfully (by institutional fiat and negligence), they will not admit their deficiencies or limitations. They live a lie and they tell lies to cover up when they mess up, and you can't challenge them because racis'.

Just like the Vatican has a 'pedo shuttle' of moving pedo priests around to different locations as a moving target cover up, since the 70's the med schools and hospitals have had the 'incompetent minority shuffle' where after a medical disaster, they would shuttle the individual to different institutions to spread the medical disasters around, lots of transfers. Of course, a lot of the disasters would just be covered up or re-characterized by pathologists to protect the institutions.
