Scum of the earth shoots parrot

One of the wild parrots that live in Imperial Beach was shot by one or more shooters on Monday night, September 29.

Amanda Plante, the development and education director for the nonprofit organization SoCal Parrot, said her organization received a call about the injured bird after residents called authorities. The yellow-headed Amazon parrot was found on Evergreen Street, near the pier.

"It was bleeding," Plante said. "They called the police and Animal Control, and then the neighbor contacted us."

A Facebook page devoted to the incident reflected the Imperial Beach locals' concern. "You are lower than the scum of the earth," one post said, addressing the unknown shooter. "To deliberately hurt one of these beautiful creatures is disgusting." Another reads, "I hope the shooter gets a taste of his own medicine."
