来自加拿大安大略省的米切尔·费尔本因在3月3日从拉斯维加斯火烈鸟酒店的栖息地带走一只27岁的智利火烈鸟皮奇而被控动物虐待罪1。陪审团经过约5小时审议后，宣布费尔本的重罪和轻罪动物虐待指控均成立1。根据法庭证据，该火烈鸟在事件中受伤，失去7至8根羽毛并出血1。
费尔本面临的最高刑期为4年监禁（重罪）加6个月（轻罪）1。量刑听证会定于12月1日举行1。动物医生的评估显示，皮奇的焦虑和紧张状况因此事件而加重1。费尔本的防卫律师在法庭上表示，"他不应该那样做，不应该进入栖息地，不应该接触鸟，不应该把皮奇带到房间。真实情况是，米奇醉了。米奇很愚蠢。他做了坏决定"1。
A Canadian man has been found guilty of animal abuse after removing a 27-year-old Chilean flamingo named Peachy from its enclosure at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas on March 3.1 Mitchell Fairburn, from Ontario, was convicted on both felony and misdemeanor animal cruelty charges by a jury following approximately five hours of deliberation.1
Court evidence revealed that the bird sustained injuries during the incident, losing seven to eight feathers and bleeding.1 A veterinarian's assessment indicated the flamingo experienced increased anxiety and stress as a result.1 Fairburn now faces a maximum sentence of four years on the felony charge plus six months on the misdemeanor count, with sentencing scheduled for December 1.1 His defense attorney acknowledged the seriousness of the actions, stating: "He shouldn't have done that, shouldn't have gone into the enclosure, shouldn't have touched the bird, shouldn't have taken Peachy to the room. The reality is, Mitch was drunk. Mitch was stupid. He made bad decisions."1
