Residents of a Las Vegas neighborhood want justice and answers in the death of their pet peacock “Pete” this week after he was shot with a bow and arrows.
There are no suspects yet in the slaying. Animal cruelty is a misdemeanor with penalties of up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. Las Vegas Animal Protection Services is soliciting information on possible suspects.
Resident Felicity Carter found Pete Monday. An arrow was sticking out of the fowl, who was resting against a fence. “The vet called and said that he had actually been shot twice. Once in the neck, that went completely through and through, barely missing his jugular and his esophagus, and then the body cavity shot that was actually stuck in him still,” Ms. Carter, the resident who first found Pete, told KVVU-TV.
