eh? O_o



NEW YORK - A peacock that roamed into a fast-food restaurant parking lot was attacked by man who vilified the bird as a vampire, animal-control authorities said.

Beaten so fiercely that most of his tail feathers fell out, the bird was euthanized, said Richard Gentles, a spokesman for the city’s Center for Animal Care and Control.

“It’s just unbelievable that someone would do something to a poor, defenseless animal and do it in such a cruel fashion,” he said.

The peacock, a male several years old, wandered into a Staten Island Burger King parking lot and perched on a car hood Thursday morning. Charmed employees had been feeding him bread when the man appeared.

He seized the iridescent bird by the neck, hurled it to the ground and started kicking and stomping the creature, said worker Felicia Finnegan, 19.

“He was going crazy,” she said.

Asked what he was doing, she said, the attacker explained, “’I’m killing a vampire!”’

Employees called police, but the man ran when he saw them. Authorities were looking for the attacker, described as being in his teens or early 20s.

It was not clear how the bird made his way to the Burger King, but a Staten Island resident who raises peacocks said he had given some to a person who lives near the restaurant.

Its not the story I diddnt find real, its the fact that Peacocks roam in New York that I diddnt find believable.

Don't be too shocked. People raise them on peacock farms and so it's not surprising if one got out. I've had a pair of peacocks live in my neighborhood at one point, eventually they disappeared.

As for this man, he was obviously mentally disturbed and I truly hope they find him. Not only to punish him, but also to get him some psychological help.

It is kinda weird to think of peacocks in New York, the big city.

Still that's terrible that that person would do that to one of them. He needs to be put in jail or solitary confinement for a couple years, along with a lot of therapy in my opinion.
