Someone intentionally killed one of my guineas

[PhoenixAngel429]

Seeing as that guy intentonally swerved to hit it, you need to get the licence plate and bring it up to the sheriff. I can understand if it was an accident but not on purpose.

I'd make him pay for a new guniea myself in small claims court.

This sounds like the work of a sadist

Hope you get this guys license plate number so the police can get him with reckless driving.

Not only watch out for your guineas please take care of yourself and your family.
That guy sounds extremely unstable and dangerous. Please consider that other members of the
same family that are completely innocent could be driving the same truck so
don't prejudge until you see a face. I think you might notify the police as swerving
to hit the guinea right in front of your husband was tantamount to assault in my
opinion. I believe there are animal cruelty laws in every state, and people that abuse
animals rapidly graduate to humans so again watch out. This guy didnt turn into a
monster overnight, I'm guessing the authorities have dealt with him before.

Thanks everybody. Our guineas, who we've name "The Goonie Squad" are very precious to us. Little did we know when we got those eggs from someone on BYC 2 years ago that they would touch our lives so thoroughly.

They've alerted us to poisonous snakes....and not so poisonous ones. They've let us know where there were predators around...or if there was a stuffed animal left out by my grandson that just looked like a predator. <giggle> They've provided us with eggs....and lots of ear splitting noise! They've cleared our property of ticks....but when I picked up the one from the road yesterday, I immediately noticed a tick on me.

They're funny, crazy, silly, wonderful birds that my family adores! We love them. My grandson, Dillon, who has Aspergers syndrome, loves the guineas. He spends hours outside with them, talking to them, feeding them treats, and chasing them. He even has a guinea painting that a BYC'r painted for him on his bedroom wall.

Their his passion. When he saw that one had been killed, he asked, "Why Mom? Why would someone hurt one of my guineas?" I had so many answers running through my mind that I wanted to spew out. Instead I told my 9 year old precious one. "Because he has no heart." And what did he say? "I'll give him a piece of mine, Mom"

Oh Dillon, sweet Dillon....the world needs more like you.
