We raise chickens - more as pets than for the eggs, but that's the excuse. Every so often one gets killed. The last time one was killed by a hawk, the other girls were eating their deceased coop-mate. I figure if they can eat chicken, I can, too.

Also: everything wants to eat your hens. In our area, it's hawks, coyotes, foxes, weasels, fisher cats (we're out in the exurbs).
