stories like this make me so angry, please help catch this sicko EPA/SYED JAN SABAWOONThe unidentified teenager's heartless actions that were witnessed ultimately led to the animal being euthanized by animal control officials, the New York Daily News said Sunday.On Thursday the animal was spotted on top of a Staten Island restaurant, the Daily News reports witnesses saying the blond-haired teen then climbed onto the building's roof, choked the bird and threw it to the ground where he began violently stomping on it while screaming "I'm killing a vampire!"Felicia Finnegan, a 19-year-old who witnessed the entire event, said the bird had done nothing wrong and was even trying to flee during most of the attack."It was very demented, the whole thing. He was kicking it like crazy. It was just trying to get away," she told the Daily News. "I didn't think any normal person could do something like that." "It's just unbelievable that someone would do something to a poor defenseless animal and do it in such a cruel fashion," said Richard Gentles, a spokesman for the Center for Animal Care and Control."We had to euthanize the bird," Gentles said to the Daily News. "He had long tail feathers that fan out, but he was beaten so brutally that he lost most of his feathers."Authorities asked anyone with information about the incident to call Animal Control at (212) 788-4000 or the ASPCA at (212) 876-7700.

This makes me sick. Why would someone do that? he's an animal, yeah he's a peacock, but he was a defensless animal, and obviviously was very old, what kind of world do we live in that, something like this is commented on as hilarious... years ago, cruelty to animals was a big deal.. THIS IS A BIG DEAL. He's not a dog or a cat or even a human, but he WAS a living and breathing thing, and didn't deserve treatment like this. It just makes me despise my own species.
