What Would You Do if Someone Tortured Your Pet ?
I live in a rough apartment. I didn't know it would be this bad but at least a few times a week the police are there breaking up fights. Some neighbor had been beating on the wall through different ways, causing the parrot to get scared and beat it's self up in it's cage.
It lost feathers and one day began weaving as if it had a head injury and by the way it looked out the window, wanted out of here badly. My financial situation prevents me from moving soon.
One day I came home and he was beating very badly on the upper deck, making very loud bangs and thumps. A friend of his said you better quit, here he comes around the corner.
The man overdosed twice and has spent about two months in jail over domestic problems. I ended up having to take the bird to a shelter where it has been adopted. It costs about $1200 total to take one of these parrots home. If you think in terms of money, it was a noticeable loss.
This parrot has been very friendly and well mannered, no attacks or bad habits. It was even paper trained and told me when it needed to go to the paper. Any time of day or night, the bird would hop up on my shoulder and be friends. It was a shame for such a peaceful friendly parrot to suffer from a dope addict and troublesome person.
The police said the way he was going about it left them with no choices of how to stop it. It's gone now and had it had the better life I could keep it in before here, it would have been around another 10 or 15 years.
I had to move here because a bunch of drunks kept trying to tangle me up in my heli for two years. I got sick of it one day and got into a fight. A judge ordered me to move or stay out of fights for six months or get a jail sentence. I tried to move. Things are worse, I could take me getting it better than watching my pet suffer.
Now I know what the loss is like. And when his children grow up, get dope stuffed in their mouth. get endangered, beaten and cheated, he'll suffer it too, unless he is a psychopath. Might be it.
