This part was pretty messed up though: "As it turns out, that sign used to read “World Famous Dancing & Tic-Tac-Toe Playing Chicken.” Some photographs framed against the wooden wall of the arcade’s cage-like managerial booth hint at the strange days when, according to ScoutingNY ‘s report, a white-feathered chicken named Lily played tic-tac-toe and “danced” to the tune of controlled electric jolts from inside a coin-operated metal and glass cage. The “game” was shut down in the late 90’s when a concerned patron demanded the owner end the practice and hand over the bird, but the empty chicken cage and tic-tac-toe board still remain. The photos were a gift from the chicken’s new owner so that the arcade staff could reminisce over their old friend." What would PETA have to say about THAT then?
