Two University of California-Berkeley students are accused of decapitating
an exotic 14-year-old bird at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino's wildlife
habitat in Las Vegas.
Eric Cuellar and Justin Teixeira, both 24, were captured on surveillance
video Friday morning chasing the helmeted guinea fowl into some trees and
then emerging carrying its severed body, according to a statement from the
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
The two men, who said they are law students at the school, then laughed
about the killing and threw the body of the bird, witnesses told police.
They were booked into the Clark County Detention Center and face felony
charges of conspiracy and the willful and malicious torture or killing of
wildlife.
The Flamingo's Wildlife Habitat is home to hundreds of animals, including
swans, ducks, turtles and of course, flamingos.
It was not clear whether Cuellar and Teixeira had hired an attorney | B******1

Nonetheless their hope of having a legal career is most likely a fantasy now
. It might also be a blow to the repuation of the UCB law school and its
holistic admission process, which is apparently not a bird's-eye view. | B******1
发帖数: 9094 | 3 What's worse is the reason they committed the act, a “fowl play”:
In an apparent attempt to empirically prove the veracity of Robert Frost’s
1962 poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay,” two men, Eric Cuellar and Justin
Teixeira, were arrested in Las Vegas this week after being caught on tape
killing an endangered 14-year-old helmeted guinea fowl.
Security footage at the painfully named Flamingo Hotel showed them throwing
the bird back and forth while laughing and discussing how they would kill it
, because there is nothing good or innocent that will not eventually be
brutally murdered. The two were identified as Berkeley law students because
of course they are.

Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay.
