I can't see how this is any worse than 95% of americans who regularly eat animals. If anything the peacocks probably had a slightly less miserable life before being eaten, compared to an average chicken.

Its only fine when the meat industry does it I guess?

I'm kinda confused here, so he slaughtered the peacocks like you would a chicken, and then ate them? What did he actually do that warrants being arrested?

Because it was a pet so now it's wrong.

Crazy animal lovers who accord different levels of protections to different animals while munching down on KFC.

Eating peacocks is a crime in the USA?

Killing your pet is a crime. It's weird.
