Man Stomps Bird to Death in Pet Store After Being Denied Refund On 5/25/21 at 6:53 AM EDT A man was caught on camera brutally stomping a parakeet to death inside a Michigan pet store last week. The 22-year-old was attempting to return the $30 bird to the Critter Pet Shop in Allen Park, southwest of Detroit, when a staff member noticed the pet was injured. "We saw the whole wing was bloody. So we're thinking his bird did it to it or another animal might have done something to the bird so my brother said there's nothing we can do for you with the bird, now," Rick Simms, the owner of the pet store, told Fox2 Detroit.
