跟进：加拿大游客虐火烈鸟案陪审团裁定罪成：12 月 1 日量刑，最高面临四年半
内华达州 Clark County 陪审团10月19日裁定，加拿大安大略省游客 Mitchell Fairbarn 一项虐待动物重罪和一项虐待动物轻罪成立，案件将于12月1日量刑。案发于2026年3月3日，Fairbarn 在拉斯维加斯 Flamingo 酒店翻越围栏，强行将27岁的智利火烈鸟 Peachy 从栖息地抱走，抓着它的脖子和腿，穿过酒店把它带回自己的房间，酒店监控拍下了部分过程。Peachy 翅膀受伤、掉了多根羽毛，其他火烈鸟也受伤。事后 Peachy 被救回并接受兽医治疗，酒店母公司 Caesars Entertainment 证实其动物护理团队和兽医一直在照料 Peachy 及其他受伤的火烈鸟。
Fairbarn 现年34岁，案发后一直被电子监控软禁在拉斯维加斯地区，并交出了护照。其辩护方称他当时喝了30至40杯酒、并无恶意，但陪审团经约五小时评议后不予采信。他面临重罪最高四年监禁、轻罪另加最高六个月。法官 Jacqueline Bluth 将主持12月1日的量刑听证。
Update: Jury Convicts Canadian Tourist in Flamingo Abuse Case: Sentencing Set for Dec. 1, Up to Four and a Half Years
A Clark County, Nevada, jury convicted Canadian tourist Mitchell Fairbarn of Ontario on Oct. 19 of one felony count and one misdemeanor count of animal cruelty, with sentencing set for Dec. 1. On March 3, 2026, Fairbarn hopped a fence at the Flamingo Las Vegas, grabbed Peachy, a 27-year-old Chilean flamingo, by the neck and legs, and carried the bird through the hotel to his room, in an incident partly captured on surveillance video. Peachy suffered wing injuries and lost several feathers, and other flamingos were also injured. Peachy was recovered and treated by veterinarians, and Caesars Entertainment, the resort's parent company, confirmed its animal care team and veterinarians were caring for Peachy and the other injured birds.
Fairbarn, 34, has been under electronic house arrest in the Las Vegas area since shortly after the incident and surrendered his passport. His defense argued he had consumed 30 to 40 drinks and had no malicious intent, but jurors deliberated about five hours and rejected the argument. He faces up to four years in prison on the felony count plus up to six months on the misdemeanor. Judge Jacqueline Bluth will preside over the Dec. 1 sentencing.
