I take in homeless and handicapped parrots, and I can assure you that if this creep had killed any of my birds, he would not have gone to jail. He wouldn't have been able to, because I would have bashed his head in with a brick, cut off his arms, skinned him and put him in MY freezer.

Thank you. I thought maybe I was in some kind of nightmare world here. Finally, a voice of reason.

To those who think that peacocks should be condemned because of their loud call: Peacocks don't belong in dense human populations. I live on thirty wooded acres; NOBODY hears them.

We have a couple of rescued birds including an abused Illiger's Macaw that was deathly afraid of hands, 4 years of constant therapy and she is getting better. Cured a Quaker Parrot of QMS as well. Birds are truely special creatures.

Had this individual simply shot or otherwise humanly killed this peacock, then I would have problems with the arrest. No animal should have to suffer for an extended period of time, or killed in a brutal, tortous manner. I am aware of how slaugher houses work for cattle, pigs & poultry too. Also for folks that practice Kosher, Kosher law dictates that animals must be slaughered humanely. We as humans should have reverence for all living creatures even though we kill them for our nourishment.
