11. Saw disturbing behavior from some local teens the other day.

My son is visiting from Washington State and so we packed a bunch of things to eat and went to a local area South of the Hilo port. There are beautiful spots to snorkel or hang out at.
A Toyota truck pulled in the parking lot with five local teens--guys, and they got out (3 from the open truck back) and started walking around. A feral mother hen had a bunch of chicks with her she was teaching how to scratch with their feet and then peck at the ground at what they uncovered. We were watching them with amazement because the mother was so patient and showed them how it is down and they would try. One was getting really good at it. It was fun watching them. My son took some videos of the mother training her chicks.
The teen boys started chasing the chicks and the mother freaked out. They were trying to stomp them with their feet and catch them with their hands. Obviously they meant serious harm and were laughing and excited. My son yelled out at them to leave the chickens alone. He stood up--6'5" and so the boys left the chicks and backed up towards their truck. They conversed a little and started to come back so I pulled out my phone and held it up to show I was recording them. They took off, but laughed at us as they drove by.
We hung around for a while to protect the chickens in case they came back because their egos took a hit. I wondered, though. They must do stuff like that often.
