Horrifying Video Shows Chicken Carcass Pile On Brooklyn Street

BOERUM HILL, BROOKLYN — Nothing phases New York drivers — not even a pile of mangled chicken carcasses dumped onto the street, apparently.

A horrifying video circling around social media Friday shows unfazed New Yorkers driving over hundreds of chicken carcasses that, for some reason, were dumped onto Bond Street on Friday morning.

The chicken parts were cleaned up by about 10 a.m. by the city's Department of Sanitation, but not before the sight — and sound — of them disturbed the nearly 30,000 people who had watched the video online.

"I thought it was fall leaves," Sara Vilkomerson, who posted the video told another user on Twitter. "'Oh I'm excited for fall, this will be great, I should buy a sweater and OH NO'"

The Department of Sanitation also didn't seem to know how the chickens got onto the street.

"We are investigating," the representative said.

Some Twitter users suspected that the bird parts might have fallen out of a truck carrying them to or from a slaughter house. There is a slaughterhouse about a mile away near Columbia and Degraw streets.

Or, maybe this viral chicken debacle has something to do with the viral chicken feud between Popeyes and Chick-fil-A? The chicken chain has made headlines the last few weeks for the fury around its newly-released chicken sandwich.

"Popeyes really out here," one Twitter user joked.

Others were too shocked to consider the origin.

"This is horrifying and I will never be the same," Twitter user Amy Kaufman said.

"Well this is apocalyptic," another said.
