Young Boy Unknowingly Ate Pet Chicken For Dinner

Chicken is undoubtedly one of the most popular types of meat in the world. They’re delicious and really easy to cook.

However, for some people who are raising chicken, they would rather fall for one or two of the chicks and would later make them their pet — that’s exactly what happened to one boy in China. Unfortunately, their master-pet relationship didn’t end well.

William Lin took to Facebook to share a story of the disappearance of his pet chicken when he was just a little boy, and posted it on the FB group “Subtle Asian Traits.”

He wrote:

“I too raised a chick in China, who would become my favorite pet, named [Pe nis] (yes I know what that means now, I was six years old okay I didn’t know). Anyways I would play with [Pe nis] every day, taking him out for walks and what not.”

William then shared that one day when he came back home from school, he noticed that his pet wasn’ there. When he asked his parents where Pe nis was, they told him that he was “taking a nap.” Young and naive, William believed them.

He continued:

“We ended up having chicken soup for dinner (which was ironically my favorite meal growing up). Again, I was six, and I was a pretty stupid kid honestly, so I still didn’t connect the dots. After dinner, I asked my parents if [Pe nis] was done with his nap. They said ‘he’s not feeling very well, I don’t think he’s going to wake up anytime soon.'”

His grandparents then ended the charade by telling him the whole truth. William cried for five days after realizing that he ate his own pet.  He then ended his post saying, “And people wonder why I have trust issues.”

As it turns out, a lot of people could relate to William’s story.  They shared their own experiences of eating their own pets on the comments section.
