thread over at the main site got me thinking of a story that i heard on second life voice chat.
posting it here because it is a little contraversial - or could become so.
Pet store had a parrot that had been previously abused. The result of the abuse was that the parrot HATED anyone who was the same race and gender as that abuser.
A family came in to the pet store and the son kept poking his fingers into the cage - even after the employees specifically told him the bird WILL attack. (The child was the same race & gender as the abuser).
But of course... the kid doesn't listen. And the parents... who knows what they were doing but it sure as hell had nothing to do with stopping their son from poking and poking.
And as warned... the bird attacked. Not a small peck either. He bit the tip of the kid's finger OFF.
So naturally.... parent sued and won.
and because the bird was "dangerous" (especially to people who don't fucking listen to warnings) ... it had to be killed.
