SPCA lists the killing of cockatoo George as a national disgrace
The killing of George the cockatoo has made the fourth annual List of Shame compiled by the Royal New Zealand SPCA for the year to date.
Earlier this year two Masterton teenagers – William Bennett, 17, and Justin Leonard Danby, 18 – pleaded guilty to respective charges of animal cruelty and burglary, and being a party to the killing of George in an incident in March.
A third Masterton teenager, Patrick Ian Murray, 18, was found guilty of also being a party to the killing and burglary relating to the same incident in which the trio cut their way into the Queen Elizabeth Park cage of George, knocking the 35-year-old bird off his perch and stomping him to death.
And where the teenagers convictions??
