Pinky the Flamingo murdered

[Catherine]

Pinky is famous for entertaining people at Busch Gardens in Florida. A visitor to the park reached over the fence,  grabbed the bird and injured him and threw him to the ground. This is clearly a disturbed person who should not be out in public. He has been charged, I just hope they can put him away for a long time.

It is sad.   This beautiful trusting bird was happy and had lived 17 years and he brought joy to many. He would have never expected a human to hurt him. It is a total betrayal of an animal's trust. It is also the act of a very disturbed man.

The man is 45 years old. This can't be the first time he has done something wrong. Someone has protected him from his own behavior and is partly responsible for Pinky's death.
