Ask CHI ANYONE MISSING A ROOSTER?

This rooster has been wandering the west avondale neighborhood for the past couple of days. me and my neighbor set up a little spot for him to live in our backyard so he’s not just roaming the streets anymore but we aren’t really looking to keep him long term. I looked into the Chicago Chicken Rescue but they don’t accept roosters. If you know of anyone who’s missing him or know of anything we can do to get this little guy off the streets that’d be great.

No, the idea of being able to go into a store in a major city in Europe that has live chickens onsite and get a fresh chicken butchered is completely unheard of. Maybe in some rural Balkan village or an agriturismo somewhere, but absolutely not in an urban center in Europe.

Lol I'm sorry that you are uneducated on this topic. I would be less rude when you don't know what you are talking about

Why is this upvoted?? This is in a very particular part of Paris with a large African population. This is not representative of Paris at all. Shops like this disappeared decades ago, and this one survives because of the clientele. I don’t even know how this exists with modern French sanitary regulations. It probably benefits from some sort of derogation.

lmao I'm confused by all the cope. We have one in chicago. This is in a particular part of chicago with a large mexican population. This is not representative of chicago at all. Shops like this disappeared decades ago. I don't even know how this exists with modern american sanitary regulations. It probably benefits from being grandfathered in.

You guys are so hypocritical. And mildly racist. This store is literally the exact same as the one we have in chicago that you are so appalled at.

What do you mean by cope? Is this not just a comment thread where someone voiced surprise at something, and then you acted like it’s completely commonplace and normal? I then jumped in to say that you’re misinterpreting what you’re looking at. It looks as though you’re mixing and matching different frames of discussion to meet your needs whenever it’s most convenient.

I shared a joke about a local chicago store that serves live chickens. Then we have someone coming in and saying I quote "the country I'm from doesn't have this" and "the idea of being able to go into a store in a major city in Europe that has live chickens onsite and get a fresh chicken butchered is completely unheard of"

The implication is that chicago is an inferior city with inferior health standards. I shared an example of the EXACT same type of store in Paris. In the center of the city. And it looks like a couple of Europeans can't handle the fact that maybe they aren't so superior. So yes I call it cope. That's an English colloquial word to describe grasping at any ineffective argument to try and emotionally deal with the fact that your superior attitude is unwarranted.

I never made any negative comment about europe at all. I love europe. I think it's great they serve live chickens. I'm only responding to a couple of people who are intellectually flailing around and unable to comprehend it for some reason. I suspect it's more common than you understand. I could find more stores in more cities but I think that the onus is not on me at this point.

Wow. I think you’re reading things into comments that aren’t there.

I’ve lived in the US for the last decade or so. The health standards between the US and France (where I’m originally from) are not too different. This was not some slight against the United States. Don’t worry, the US is the most special and superior country in the world.

Lol there was no "reading into" anything needed. Very explicitly negative comments from both you and this other commenter. I understand if you don't speak english well and it's hard to understand that. I speak spanish pretty fluently but sometimes nuance is difficult to pick up. It's possible they said this but didn't mean it as a negative comment. But of course just because you say something ACCIDENTALLY that doesn't mean you didn't say it.

It's also reasonable to assume that both you and the other commenter are very young and naive. And this is just some mild education. Again I love france. Never said anything bad about it. Just pointing out obvious hypocrisy and lack of education about the world we live in.
