A man in Florida grew so angry with his neighbor that he decided to eat his own pet peacocks to try and upset her.
Sign the petition to demand this man get the mandated mental health counseling he clearly needs!
Apparently, his neighbor had a soft spot for these birds, and had been feeding them. That alone was enough to send the man into a rage, creating a feud between the two humans. It all culminated in the neighbor receiving a horrible letter.
The man wrote to her, saying he had killed and eaten two of his peacocks. And that he had done it out of “spite” to “prove a point” to her. His point? That “he will continue to kill his [remaining] pet peacocks if she continues to feed them.”
When speaking to authorities, the man confessed to all of this and he even described how he had killed the animals. Apparently, he slit their necks, allowed them to slowly die from bleeding out, then cut up their bodies, and frying them up.
Obviously this man should never be allowed to own, live with, or work with animals in the future. But he also clearly requires psychiatric assistance in order to make sure he is not dangerous to others in the future. Sign the petition!
