He told deputies he killed and ate the birds because his neighbor wouldn’t stop feeding them.

A Florida man is accused of killing and eating two of his pet peacocks.

Officials charged Craig Vogt, of Hudson, with aggravated cruelty resulting in excessive pain or death, according to WFLA.

Vogt told Pasco County deputies he killed and ate the birds because his neighbor wouldn’t stop feeding them.

He wrote his neighbor a letter admitting to the deed and threatened to continue the behavior if she wouldn’t stop feeding them.

The 61-year-old told deputies he cooked the birds in a frying pan and would kill all of his pet peacocks to prevent anyone from taking custody of them.

3. I'm a bit surprised the neighbor kept feeding them instead of eating them herself.

Peacocks are extremely noisy. But it's Florida...
