‘Bad decisions’: Man convicted for taking Peachy the flamingo from Las Vegas hotel
Mitchell Fairbarn found guilty of animal cruelty after prosecutors say he hurt and frightened the 27-year-old bird A Canadian man was convicted of animal cruelty charges on Monday for snatching a flamingo named Peachy from its enclosure at an iconic Las Vegas hotel.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on the conviction over the flamingo incident and identify Peachy as the bird involved at a Las Vegas hotel. The Guardian US is more specific, naming Mitchell Fairbarn and saying prosecutors alleged he hurt and frightened the 27-year-old bird, while ABC News keeps the framing shorter and says only that a Canadian man was convicted on animal cruelty charges after stealing the flamingo.
