Poultry Shaming

I suppose it was the next inevitable pet shaming step. After the popularity of dog and cat shaming (for those not in the know, pet "shaming" involves taking pictures of pets with signs announcing their crime and posting them publicly). Fiber artist and backyard poultry keeper Amy Rawson posted a set of photos of her chickens, roosters and turkeys wearing signs announcing their misdeeds. I can't wait for alpaca shaming. Clearly, that is what must come next, if it hasn't already.
