The child was skipping rocks at the zoo. Now a flamingo is dead.
A child struck a flamingo with a rock at an Illinois zoo, injuring it severely enough that staff determined the bird should be euthanized.
The child was skipping rocks into the bird’s habitat on Monday when one struck the animal, Jay Tetzloff, the director at the Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington, Ill., said in an email.
“Unfortunately, staff determined the best course of action given the animal’s injuries was to euthanize the bird,” he said. “This was a truly unfortunate accident, and we are working with the juvenile’s family to move forward.”
He declined to provide the age of the child when asked.
The story was first reported by the Pantagraph, which said that the bird’s leg was broken.

A flamingo died and sadness abounds, but abortion is "healthcare," and a woman's right is a good thing. Sheeeesh.

These "people" are ****ed in the head and not in a good way.

Just imagine the flamingo was an unborn child. Then you could party instead of having a sad.

My initial reaction is to ask the WaPo “Why is this a story?” What an absolute waste of column inches. But in reality, it’s what the news has become: worthless.

There're pink flamingos in a quarter of the front yards in America.

Yes, this was a tragic event that a child's careless act killed an innocent animal. However, flamingoes are hardly endangered.
