эту загадочную историю, потому что не могу понять, кто же на дядечку подал в суд. Попугай не мог - он умер.
An animal cruelty charge could be dismissed against a New Jersey man who killed his family's parrot for squawking while he tried to watch NASCAR on TV.
Dennis Zeglin has been admitted into the Pretrial Intervention program for first-time offenders.
The charge will be dismissed and the 67-year-old will not have a record if the Randolph resident successfully serves three years on probation.
Zeglin also must complete 100 hours of community service with a humane center.
Zeglin's lawyer has said his client was intoxicated when he shot "Mikey" with a pellet gun in 2009 because the 20-year-old African Grey parrot distracted him while he watched the race.
Zeglin declined comment.
