Sh!tbag Of The Week: Las Vegas police: Tourist stole, tortured flamingo at iconic Strip hotel. 🚨TRIGGER WARNING🚨

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A tourist faces charges after Las Vegas police said he stole a flamingo from the Flamingo hotel and took the bird back to his room, injuring it.

Mitchell Fairbarn, 33, of Ontario, Canada, faces four counts of felony animal abuse, according to court records.

On Tuesday, March 3, Metro police received a call from the hotel about a man, later identified as Fairbarn, who allegedly broke into the property’s flamingo habitat and injured several birds, documents said.

Police reviewed surveillance footage, which they said showed Fairbarn entering the bird habitat around 5 a.m. and grabbing a bird named “Peachy.” Fairbarn also allegedly injured other animals in the process, including “pinning down” a second bird and “not letting it escape.” The video then shows Fairbarn returning to a hotel room with the animal, police said.
