Arfin,
Sparky the parrot's owner loved her dearly. But one day, after he allowed two friends to stay at his home, all of that fell to pieces.
He left to complete shopping errands, and when he returned, he found they'd sadistically tortured and killed his beloved pet.
In his absence, they covered the African grey parrot with a variety of toxic chemicals, including heavy-duty oven cleaning spray, metal polish, furniture polish, and gloss paint.
Then the women tried to feed poor Sparky the bird to a dog. When that didn't kill the animal, they struck her with a towel, turned on a tumble dryer for clothes, and tossed the parrot inside. She was still alive by the end of the cycle, "gasping [her] last breath."
That's when one of the friends reached out and strangled the pet. By the time Sparky's owner came home, Sparky was inside her cage, head limp and eyes glassy and unresponsive.
Authorities in the UK were appalled by the level of brutality. A judge sentenced both parties to jail each and banned the two women from owning animals. What's also needed, though, is serious and intensive therapy.
Violence against animals often proceeds escalating violence against other humans — and therapy is an important preventative measure to make sure these women never commit such cruelty against another living being again.
Tell authorities in the UK to sentence both of these convicted animal abusers to intensive psychotherapy, to facilitate whatever healing is necessary in order to protect others from harm!
