There was one bovine that took exception to being restrained in the chute and promptly wriggled and forcefully got one hind leg out of the confines of the chute. The young man (nickname is Farmer) proceeded to attempt to restrain the freed leg, when the leg jerked free and viciously kicked him in the scrotum. (Pausing here for all the groans I know are being vocalized) .........Off to the ER for some stitches for young Farmer, 40 of them were inserted without benefit of have a local pain killer (I was told that they are unable to numb that portion of the male anatomy- to which I replied "Totally makes sense") <br />Fast forward several years and this same man is doing cement work on a side walk with a chute from the truck pouring just behind his back, the truck jumped into gear without warning and the chute flipped up and the grab hook at the end of this chute grabbed Farmer's scrotum and ripped it so badly that both testicles fell out!!!! (bigger pause for more moaning............)<br />60!!! yes, I said 60 stitches later the Doctor said to Farmer, "I don't think I've ever had anyone bend the handles on my metal examination table prior to today" <br />And yes, this man has 3 children and has no permanent damage. Seems a bit to me like he should stay away anything that is described as a "chute"!!!! True story too, because there's no way you can make that crap up.

I sympathise, last year I got my ass thoroughly kicked by an aggressive goose called Archie who thought that I was too close his "mate" AKA my friend Penny (a human) and in order to get me to go away, he decided it would be a good idea to grab hold of the back of my leg in his beak while bashing me with his wings and kicking me with his feet, I was black and blue for days.
