From the Las Vegas Sun: Two University of California, Berkeley students were arrested Friday
morning after allegedly killing an exotic bird at the Flamingo hotel’s
Wildlife Habitat, Metro Police said.
Eric Cuellar, 24, and Justin
Teixeira, 24, were arrested and booked into the Clark County Detention
Center on felony charges of conspiracy and the willful, malicious
torture or killing of wildlife. Both were carrying University of
California, Berkeley identification cards and identified themselves to
police as law students at the school.
The two were caught on
video surveillance Friday morning chasing a 14-year-old helmeted guinea
fowl into the trees of the wildlife habitat. A witness observed one of
the suspects emerge from the trees, carrying the body and severed head
of the bird, police said.
Police arrived at the habitat shortly
after 9:30 a.m., where witnesses told them two males were throwing the
dead bird, discussing the killing and laughing.
The Flamingo’s
Wildlife Habitat, open 24 hours a day, has about 500 animals, including
10 pink flamingos and a pond of black swans, ducks, helmet guinea fowls
and a variety of fish. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2012/oct/12/fowl-play-cal-law-students-arrested-exotic-bird/
Consider they come from Berkley, they are probably some rich kids who thought they could do whatever they wanted to do.
My guess, and thankfully, is that these clowns won't becoming lawyers anytime soon.
