Another Escape from an NYC Zoo...Peacock Escapes Central Park, Terrorizes Upper East Side

(NewsCore) - NEW YORK -- A peacock escaped Tuesday from New York City's Central Park Zoo and was on the loose on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, authorities said. "The peacock poses no danger to anyone," the zoo said in a statement. "To ensure a good outcome in this situation, we ask everyone not to follow or harass the bird if they see him." Zoo officials added, "We are hopeful he will either fly back to the zoo or we will retrieve him nearby."

New York's Zoos kinda suck at their job, right? I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but the point of a zoo is to keep the animals in, no? Kind of like a prison for wildlife?  Not in NY I guess, first a Cobra, now a Peacock? I guess give them credit for not losing a poisonous threat to society this time around though...

PS: How the hell do you lose a peacock? I didn't even know those gangly things could fly.  I worked at Canobie Lake Park for the worst summer of my life and not once did I see one of those awkward birds even attempt to jump, let alone fly away.  We just kept them out in the open, kids loved looking at them, people hated cleaning their shit after they'd been fed french fries.  Dudes had no thoughts about escaping.

Double PS: Yea that's what he's gonna do buddy, he's just going to fly back to the zoo, he just needed a break. Frigen moron...do escaped inmates come back to prison when its time to go to bed? Not a chance.
