Hunter Shot Macaw Out Of The Sky Just For Fun. Sing In To His Punishment Petition

A hunter shot a rare parrot dead while it was out being exercised because ‘it’s not illegal to shoot exotic birds’. Owner Joseph Verdyck was helpless as he watched his beloved pet being blasted in the sky before falling down and getting eaten by hunting dogs.

The man eventually offered to reimburse Joseph for his loss, but that is not enough! Joseph raised Rambo and his other macaw Mera from hatchlings, and he even taught them to fly. The day Rambo was shot Joseph had taken them out to a nearby field where they could get some exercise. Like many parrot owners, Joseph let them free fly and he had trained them to come back to him. In fact, according to experts Rambo was one of the best trained birds in the country. And now he is dead.
