I can hear the Democrats now. /sarcasm
Its a wonder more peacocks aren’t killed based on the noise alone.

Slinge, draw, and stuff a peacock with forcemeat. Truss it for roasting and roast it in a moderate oven (350° F.) for about 20 minutes per pound, or until well browned and tender, basting very frequently with melted butter. Serve hot with pan gravy or cold with chopped jelly and cold sauce poivrade.
To make the forcemeat, soak 1 pound of bread crumbs in milk and press out the moisture. Combine it with 1 pound of chopped beef marrow, the peacock liver, finely chopped, 10 shallots or 1 onion, chopped and stewed in butter until tender, 1 tablespoon each chopped green celery leaf and parsley, and a little sage, marjoram, and thyme. Season with cayenne, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste.
Sauce Poivrade
To 6 tablespoons olive oil in a saucepan, add 1 carrot and 1 onion, both diced, and cook until they are golden-brown. Add 1/2 cup flour, mix together, and cook until the flour turns golden-brown. Add 3 cups brown stock or double-strength beef consommé and 1 cup tomato purée, mix well with a whip, and cook, stirring until well blended. Add 3 or 4 sprigs of parsley, 1 bay leaf, and a little thyme. If any bones of the game are available, brown them well in the oven and add them. Cook for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally and skimming as needed.
Put 1/2 cup vinegar and 6 peppercorns, crushed, in a pan and cook until the liquid is reduced to about one third the original quantity. Strain the sauce into the reduced vinegar mixture and cook all together for about 30 minutes, skimming carefully as the fat rises. Add 1/2 cup red wine to finish the sauce.
In the meantime there’s a father daughter discussion going on.
I seen it!
Why is this even news worthy?
My miniature 8 lb. Schnoodle dog, Raz, dragged home a full deer spine with all the ribs still attached.
Do I get news coverage?
Nooooo.
I'm wondering why this is news.
The deputy tried using a stun-gun on the peacock, which did not appear to affect it. Riley then asked the deputy for permission to shoot the bird and got it.
Rumsey said the outcome was not the one she was hoping for.
Texas man asks deputy permission to shoot own rooster after neighbor complains about its aggressiveness. Permission granted. Dines on coq au vin, fancy feathers left over. Neighbor now sorry for rooster. International wire service picks up breaking news.
Years ago a FReeper told about knowing the caretakers at a Frank Lloyd Wright house where peacocks were allowed to run free, uncontrolled. But it seems they sometimes wandered into the oven by mistake...
they taste like chicken to
Nothing about the poor daughter?
Does this young gull suspect her father of fowl play? Is she in a state of absolute desparrow? Does she want him aroosted and thrown in jay?
I'm sure the loss of her pet was hard to swallow.
Is she condor anti what he did?
Or is she saying "to the gullows with him!"
