10-year-old not amused by ‘Saturday Night Live’ joke about disabled chicken

UNDERHILL, Vt. — A Vermont girl isn’t happy 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, one of the “Weekend Update” co-hosts said she should “just eat the chicken.”

Alora Wood, 10, of Underhill, Vt., said she knows the segment was meant to be a joke, but 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, N.H.
