CYPRESS, Texas, Feb. 15 (UPI) -- A Houston-area man said he shot and killed his daughter's peacock after the bird scared several people in the neighborhood for weeks. The bird and a female peahen belonged to Riley Richards' daughter and lived at their home in Cypress, Texas, KHOU-TV, Houston, reported.

Me too.
In my youth no one would ever consider asking a deputy for permission to shoot a troublesome family pet.
This is not progress.
Personally I do not see how the progression of a family pet from being property that can be disposed of at will to a possession that you must get government permission to destroy is desirable.
A family pet that is likely to harm a neighbor and cause you a crippling lawsuit needs to be put down without delay and with out the need to call the law.

Sounds like he found what’s left of a mountain lion kill. Don’t know if you have them in your neck of the woods
they taste like chicken to
More like spotted owl.

Nothing about the poor daughter?
Does this young gull suspect her father of fowl play? Is she in a state of absolute desparrow? Does she want him aroosted and thrown in jay?
I'm sure the loss of her pet was hard to swallow.
Is she condor anti what he did?
Or is she saying "to the gullows with him!"

Too many years ago since I read it.

Oh, man.

Ah, your post dredged up an unpleasant memory for me. I had a female dog that the kids and I had taken in as a stray. She was apparently part Lab, part German Shepherd, and I don’t know what else.
One of her favorite things was finding disgusting dead things and rolling in them. Occasionally, she would bring home disgustingly smelly dead fish from the beach.
By far, however, her grossest find to bring home occurred during deer season, when she found a deer skull which still contained a fairly fresh brain. I assumed she snatched it from someone’s yard after he had butchered his catch.
Now that was funny!
I’ve often wondered what a turducken stuffed into a peacock would be like. There are Ostriches and Emus on farms around here, and peacocks, Canada geese and ducks in the parks. combined, they’d make quite a roast.
