Armed Firefighters Eradicate Feral Chickens

Yep feral chickens. This is an amusing animal story out of Florida, although probably not so amusing to the residents.
So how do you clean up a wild chicken problem?
- County Animal Control only does domestic animals and pets.
- Florida Wildlife Commission says chickens are farm animals.
- Live capture failed because wild chickens can fly pretty good.
- Traps? Nope, roosters learned to guard against the chickens entering.
- Even alcohol in their food to slow them down failed.
HIGH SPRINGS — After seeing High Springs firefighters toting rifles through a neighborhood and shooting at chickens last week, residents said they are infuriated...
Many residents said they were upset not that the chickens were killed but the manner in which the situation was handled last Wednesday, Feb. 1.
Residents said they were not notified that the shooting would happen, that they worried about the safety of their children and pets, and that firefighters ran through private property without permission.
When the shooting was over, residents said they were left to deal with injured chickens and a bloody mess.
City officials, however, said that multiple safety precautions were taken, including having the city’s police chief on the scene with a safety perimeter in place.

This definately could have been better co-ordinated with the residents and I don't blame them for being upset.
Put yourself in this situation, your siting at the breakfast table having your morning coffee. All of a sudden all hell breaks loose and it sounds like a war zone? Frankly, I think that it's a wonder there wasn't any rednecks or edgy war vets returning fire.
