Man attacks unlucky peacock at Burger King
N.Y. resident insisted bird was a vampire; animal had to be euthanized

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.

Some story... Wouldn't have expected you to post it Brute.

It's too bad though, Unlucky Peacock indeed.

Oh...now you decide to show up when it's to post some cheeky reply

You need to get on live and play some GOW or Rainbow 6......

Well, taking this way off-topic... But here it goes.

My Xbox busted, I have to send it in for repairs. I'll be going up to Cleveland in late July, so I probably won't be on XBL until... Late August.

Yeah sure....Cleveland...likely story. Tell the truth....you're going to be in jail until late August because you beat up a peacock. Nicely back on topic

I wonder what ruffled his feathers..

Shouldn't he just put a stake through it's heart?

Obviously a confused chicken "whopper"

If this weren't so disturbing it'd be hilarious.

Just another good reason to avoid acid trips

That's horrible

The guy is going after animals - he'll be going after people soon.

Guy is a danger to society and should be locked away.
