In 1975, instead of installing expensive road signs or “speed bumps,” Napa, California experimented with using chickens to slow down drivers on one of the streets—Streblow Drive, adjacent to Kennedy Park. They simply released 85 chickens to roam as they pleased. Park manager Bob Pelusi said, “Only occasionally would an impatient driver cut through the flock. Over nine months, we lost just 12 of them. You could say they died in the line of duty.”
An interesting idea. Only I think that in the Russian hinterlands, these chickens wouldn’t survive a night. Perhaps they should have had POLICE painted on their sides, so that if someone tried to harm them, it could trigger a criminal charge?
