But the larger question is why? Why??

Why? As in why cross the highway, easy, to show the possum that you really can!

To get to the other side?
CNN should have interviewed the duck family to settle the age-old dispute. Presumably their answer would apply to chickens also (should that be “Chicko-Americans?”).

Why did the [poultry of choice] cross the road?
Because it was too long to go around.

For sure, they weren’t chicken.

Because they read about this primo new vegan place on the other side.

Sort of reminds me of an incident several years ago. I was driving in the right-hand southbound lane of a four-lane divided highway. It was raining and the road was wet. All at once, two adult geese walked out right in front of me. I instinctively swerved to miss them, but lost control and spun out into the grassy median. (Good thing there was a median; otherwise I would have careened into oncoming traffic.)
As luck would have it, a tow truck was passing by at that exact moment. He saw it happen and stopped to pull me out. As we stood there, we watched the geese continue through the median and cross the northbound lanes without breaking stride.

Officer Michael is missing in action, he would have stopped traffic for them.
