What A Sad Scum Bag. With a sad life.
This is just silly getting emotional about a chicken having its neck broken.
Now he shouldn’t have stolen if that is what he did.
But there is nothing otherwise wrong with killing a chicken by breaking its neck and eating it.
It is a very kind way of doing it I understand.
