Teens bash 78-year-old blind Flamingo

[fairmont1998]

Good news, the flamingo is back in his enclosure with the other flamingo.

[Cobra]

Yeah saw that on the news last night Darin. I think those pr!cks are lucky for that, as if the bird has not recovered so well, or heaven forbit died, they'd be the most wanted people in Adelaide!

Vigilantism works better than any law court in Australia.

Let 'em have it.

[Hunter]

I agree, cut their nuts off. I don't want any more dirtbags like that around. Wonder if they'll go onto be serial killers...

[benoxr]

I tell you what, from speaking to a few people around here, if anyone got their hands on these F%&king C#@ts they'd be dead! This town is so upset

I'm with you on that one! Getting stuck into animals ****es me right off!!!
There are many calls for the 4 of them to be 'named and shamed' and that will be a good start if it happenned.

They're old enough to drink, vote, get married, work, drive a car etc etc so no-one should treat it as some little kiddies who didnt know any better.

[fiery]

I was really pleased to hear that the flamingo has recovered and back with his mate.
I hope the community get to know who these 'toughies' are, their life isn't going to be very sweet once known that is for sure.

For anyone who's been to the Adelaide Zoo, you would know that these birds (only 2 of them) have been there since the 1930's and that they are said to be one of the oldest Flamingos living in captivity in the world. Once they are gone, Adelaide Zoo is unable to get any more flamingos.

My step daughter was there on a school trip and her whole class saw these ar$eholes being taken away by the police. Apparantly earlier that day they had been throwing rocks at some of the other animals. Her school had a meeting with the classes that went there as there were a few upset students, my step daughter being one of them as she loves animals.

What the is wrong with people? What sort of a person does these disgusting things? Before anyone says "it's only a bird and we care more about animals than humans", well consider this for a second, 4 teenagers BASHED a blind defenceless old bird because it was "FUN". Maybe it's not on the same criminal level as someone murdering another human, but on a MORAL level I think it's one of the lowest acts a human being(s) can stoop too.

They catch some guy who broke and entered someone's home, stole keys to a luxury Audi, drove it with socks on his hands and his penalty? He gets a few hundred dollar fine - which he'll likely pay by breaking into someone else's home.

That is what we deal with each and every day we do all the hard work and risk life and limb and when they get caught 90% of these tough guys cry like a baby as soon as the cuffs go on them - We have a mountain of evidence against them they go to the duty solicitor next day pleade a hard luck story with a few tears and war stories the court believes them and then they are out. We often thing why bother anymore.
My old man was in the force in the Joh era in QLD where you could give these guys a touch up with no reprise and a lot of the crims had a heart and respect as well - unsecured in the back of the old F100 van hard braking, sharp turns and then drive down at speed the roughest goat track in south east QLD but sadly it had changed in these times
PS I am itching to use these new fangled tasers

Wonder how much drugs has to do with this. Ice makes people do some idiotic things. Past time to change from a rehab. based soft touch justice system to a punitive one I think. Bring back the lash and make em think twice! Introduce them to the pain they are so willing to inflict on others be it animal or human.

Glad to hear the bird is on the recovery. I can't see society getting any better untill some discipline is re-introduced into the system tho, hope im wrong

Hell, I'm 25 and I don't consider myself much of an adult.

Being an adult is not about an age or a title. It is about being self-responsible and respecting others, among many other things.

These little hoolums in my opinion are not adults because they have no respect for anything, believing their nigh-invincible and just "top blokes", when in actual fact, they're the kind of people who make me upset we don't have the death penalty.

I would love their eyes to be pulled out with pliers, then they can be hit over the head with a law textbook, or the Oxford dictionary.
You won't beat any sense into them, but perhaps as they drool in their wheelchairs or are being fed their mush, they might realise that you only get one shot at life, and so do the animals, and their lives are no less important than yours.

In this country you are a LEGAL adult @ 18, more than enough for me.. they should be convicted with full penalty of law. I'm personally disgusted by this but even more so knowing they'll pretty much walk away scot free.

Due to a lack of evidence.
