From Times Wire Reports
A peacock that roamed into the parking lot of a Staten Island Burger King was attacked by a man who said, “I’m killing a vampire,” animal-control authorities said.
Beaten so fiercely that most of its tail feathers fell out, the bird was euthanized.
The peacock, a male several years old, wandered into the lot and perched on a car hood. Charmed employees were feeding it bread when the man appeared, attacked it and ran off.
