Girl not amused by 'SNL' joke about her disabled pet chicken

The chicken was born with a deformed foot.

UNDERHILL, Vt. (AP) -- A Vermont girl isn’t happy that her disabled pet chicken was joked about on "Saturday Night Live." The chicken, named Granite Heart, is learning to walk with a custom wheelchair. On a recent ‘SNL’ episode, the television show’s "Weekend Update" co-host said she should "just eat the chicken." Ten-year-old Alora Wood of Underhill, Vermont, tells NECN-TV that she knows the segment was meant to be a joke, but says what if it was a dog. The chicken was born with a deformed foot. The girl says: "Any creature, no matter how big, no matter how small, they deserve to have a perfect life." The custom wheelchair came from a company in Amherst, New Hampshire, that makes pet wheelchairs.
