Look, whether we’re watching our favorite team, or our fave show, or our low-quality Asian porn, we hate to be interrupted.
Apparently NASCAR fans really, really hate being interrupted during their weekly left-turn-a-thon.
Well, at least one does.
Seems one Dennis Zeglin, NASCAR fan, drunk and alleged parrot hater got the best of the family pet during a recent NASCAR race.
Zeglin had become annoyed with “Mikey,” the family’s African grey parrot, while watching the NASCAR Sprint Series Pocono 500. “Mikey,” like most parrots, was squawking and making quite the ruckus.
So Zeglin did what any sane, rational person would do…he plugged the friggin’ bird full of holes.
Allegedly.
Zeglin’s wife was upstairs at the time, when she heard three shots. She came downstairs to find the parrot dead, and her husband sitting in his chair.
The alleged shooter was sitting in a chair in his living room when police walked in, and reached behind the chair to hand them a Daisy Powerline Model 93, CO2-powered BB gun he later admitted to using to kill Mikey, according to a police report.
Zeglin informed a township animal control officer he had shot the bird in his cage because it had annoyed him while he was watching TV.
Did I mention Zeglin was drunk at the time?
Big f’ing surprise there.
Since being charged with animal cruelty, drunken NASCAR fan #1 has undergone counselling for alcoholism…hopefully this will curb him from shooting the dog for barking during Gomer Pyle reruns. [Daily Record]
