DJ Calvin Harris Devastated After Beloved Rooster 'Smokey' Killed by Neighbour's Dogs
Scottish DJ and producer Calvin Harris is understandably heartbroken after his cherished rooster, Smokey, was tragically killed by his neighbour's dogs. The incident, which Harris shared on Instagram, has sparked a wave of sympathy and outrage from his fans.
Harris, known globally for his chart-topping music, revealed a deeply personal side to his life as he recounted raising Smokey from a tiny chick into a proud and magnificent cockerel. He posted a touching photo of himself alongside Smokey, captioning it with a poignant message about the loss.
“Raised this lad from a chick to a majestic cockerel,” Harris wrote, clearly devastated by the loss. He went on to accuse his neighbour’s dogs of being responsible, describing them as “grimy dogs.” While he didn’t name the neighbour directly, the accusation has certainly ruffled feathers (pun intended!) within his local community.
The post quickly went viral, with thousands of comments expressing condolences and support for Harris. Many fans praised his dedication to raising poultry and shared their own stories of beloved pets. Others expressed anger and frustration towards irresponsible dog owners and the dangers they pose to animals.
This isn’t the first time Harris has shared glimpses into his rural life. He’s often posted pictures and videos of his chickens, ducks, and other animals, showcasing a passion for country living alongside his high-profile music career. Smokey, in particular, seemed to hold a special place in Harris’s heart, often featuring prominently in his social media posts.
The incident raises important questions about responsible pet ownership and the need for owners to control their animals, especially in areas where they may encounter other people’s pets or livestock. While Harris hasn’t indicated whether he plans to take legal action, the emotional toll of losing Smokey is clearly evident. He’s a reminder that even global superstars can experience profound grief over the loss of a beloved animal companion.
The outpouring of support for Harris highlights the strong connection people have with animals, and the devastating impact when those bonds are broken. It also serves as a cautionary tale for dog owners to ensure their pets are properly trained and contained to prevent harm to others.
We wish Calvin Harris all the best during this difficult time and hope he finds comfort in the memories of his feathered friend, Smokey.
