Re: Who owns the chicken?
Did you ask the owner, or as some might say the ex owner why the chicken was crossing the road ?

Re: Who owns the chicken?
Well to me it's obvious the chickens ancestors were using that bit of land for thousands of years before roads were invented, so did someone ask the chickens if they could put a road through their walkway ?tightenupvolume1 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 4:57 am Did you ask the owner, or as some might say the ex owner why the chicken was crossing the road ?
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

I am surprised nobody pointed out the extra charge for renting land for the free range chicken to roam and live in a cruelty free environment.

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

That would be under western law, not necessarily under Khmer lawDoc67 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 13, 2020 11:53 pmYou.Kung-fu Hillbilly wrote: ↑Fri Mar 13, 2020 11:38 pm I hit a chicken on the scooter today with a good clean head-shot (unintentionally you murderous morons) with the owner seeing the tragedy. I compensated her reasonably and as I was walking away I thought, "Hold on, that chicken should be mine now, isn't it?"
Who then owns the deceased chicken?
The compensation you paid was for the loss of a live chicken, i.e. the value of the live bird on a replacement basis. When you buy a live chicken you don't get a dead one free of charge. So she can't expect to have the money to replace the bird plus a dead one as a bonus. This would put her in a better position than she was before.
Also, the value of a live bird and a dead one is virtually the same, it's just the cost of a swing of a meat cleaver.
The remains are yours in the same way an insurance company owns the written off car.
I bet her family dined well that evening!

did you ever think perhaps the owner might train their chickens to watch for barangs? and if they spot one to run out kamikaze-style because the villager thinks barangs are suckers and will pay 50k riel per instance?

Why did the chicken commit suicide?
