The daughter of an experienced animal handler who was brutally killed by his pet rooster has issued a warning about the dangers of aggressive poultry after the bird also attacked her young child. Jasper Kraus, 67, suffered a heart attack after the animal plunged its spur into his leg and caused him to lose litres of blood, the Mirror reports.
Virginia Guinan, 33, said her dad was a huge animal lover and while attacks are uncommon, she has urged owners to look out for signs of aggression. The trainee healthcare assistant from south Roscommon, Ireland said: "You wouldn't think a chicken can be dangerous - but they can be.
"It was a malicious attack, absolutely brutal. There were litres of blood all over the floor when I arrived." Virginia added that the father-of-two's bird was believed to be a 'nice and docile breed' which is good around children but the creature also tried to attack her three-year-old daughter.
