Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 17, 2016
Transcript:
Goat: Hey, Pig, this is my friend, Sal. He was in prison for knifing some guys, but now he's in a rehabilitation program where he tries to learn a new skill. Pig: Doing what? Sal: I'm supposed to raise chickens, but I hear the stupid things never listen, so I don't even want to try. Pig: Oh, c'mon. Take a stab at it. That didn't end well.

It looked like Sal raised the chicken quite well in the 2nd panel.

I’m well aware of Stephan’s style and humor, but I have to admit I cannot help finding this strip in particular very cruel on the pour chicken. I would rather see the chicken strike back on Sal instead.

Why would Goat have a friend that’s a killer? Rat or Guard Duck, maybe…

Slow down, guys! We don’t know that Sal is a killer, only that he “knifed some guys.” We don’t even know that the “pour” (phony Irish accent on St. Patrick’s Day?) chicken is dead, only that it has lost some feathers (no blood).Why does everyone think the worst of Goat’s pal Sal?! Give a guy a break so he can rehab successfully!

Sal’s rehab program is complete after the bidding war for his services by KFC, Popeye’s, Chck-fil-A, and Church’s make him a wealthy and productive member of society.

@Sal (Goat’s Ex-Con Friend)
… you say that “… chickens never listen”?
What have you ever said to a chicken?
…and, it does occur to me that perhaps you are mistaken … the chicken probably heard you, it’s just chose not to respond.
