Florida, October 3: A shocking and bizarre incident unfolded in Hudson, Florida, when 61-year-old Craig Vogt was arrested for allegedly killing, cooking, and eating his pet peacocks as part of a twisted revenge plot against a neighbour. According to reports by the New York Post and Pasco County Sheriff’s Office, Vogt left a letter in his neighbour’s mailbox claiming responsibility for the deaths of two peacocks. In the letter, he detailed killing the birds by cutting their necks and cooking them in a frying pan, threatening to continue harming his pets if the neighbour did not stop feeding them. The dispute reportedly began over the neighbour feeding Vogt’s birds, escalating after a prior verbal altercation. During his arrest, Vogt allegedly made disturbing statements to law enforcement, claiming he intended to kill all remaining peacocks to prevent anyone from taking custody of them. ‘I Did My Duty’: US Man Arrested After Admitting on Live TV to Killing and Burying Parents 8 Years Ago (Watch Video).
