36 year old man arrested for killing beloved California local bird

A 36-year-old Los Angeles County man has been arrested after reportedly throwing a rock at a beloved Great Egret in San Bernardino, leaving the bird, which ultimately died, badly wounded.

The unsettling act of alleged animal cruelty unfolded on Oct. 23 at Lake Gregory in Crestline, according to witness Kaylyn Donica who captured the incident on cellphone video.

Donica told KTLA’s Shelby Nelson that she and a friend were fishing when the spotted two men throwing rocks at ducks in the lake, prompting her to yell at them to stop. She said they initially stopped, but about 20 minutes later, the situation took a turn.


Footage of the incident shows the 36-year-old, now identified as Claremont resident Jeremy Jansen, throwing a rock at the Great Egret and missing. His second attempt, however, hit the bird, knocking it over into the water.

How disgusting and sick our society has become, if it wasn't already that fucked up.

I am sickened by those who just want to kill some animal, because they can use their prehensile ability to pick up rocks and stone, a precious innocent bird. What a cruel, reckless, unspeakable affront to life itself.
