He was arrested for filming and uploading it, not for killing the pigeon.

The law prohibits attacking wild animals. This guy is sick. Would he have turned to hurting people?
Fighto!
Truly sick individual. Glad that his name is out there- he needs to be shunned in his community.
Hopefully he never finds work again and ends up sleeping in a park with swarms of pigeons all around.

I was surprised that anyone would be arrested for killing a pigeon, but when I read the details I was relieved that this lunatic has been picked up before doing much worse.

If I were tortured like that then I would definitely be ‘unfriendly’ to my abuser!

The suspect had posted multiple videos of animal abuse on X since May 2023, with police receiving more than 100 reports and several animal welfare groups filing complaints.
This is why the police arrested him. They got so many reports that it was apparent arresting him was less effort than answering all the reports and investigating them. Also, he provided video evidence of his own guilt, so the police didn't have to do any further investigation. Maybe he would have got away with it if there had been only 50 or so complaints. It takes a lot to get the police to act.

Where do they find these psychos?

Wallace - yes, he would. Or if not hunting then attacking on a random basis

A grown male torturing a defenseless pigeon for fun? That's BEYOND disgusting - it's a flashing neon sign of a sociopath who belongs in a cage for life. Anyone this depraved doesn't stop at animals and it's only a matter of time before he moves on to something worse.
Throw him in prison, toss the key into the freaking ocean, and let him spend the rest of his miserable existence explaining to his cellmates why he got locked up for being the lowest form of human filth.

A sick, dangerous creep. He should not be free.

He's well past sociopath, and firmly in psychopath territory.

Agree. He's not just in the territory; I reckon he's got a whole mansion there, with a pool and a "Do Not Disturb" sign.

I used to catch and raise wild pigeons as a kid. They're the gentlest of creatures.

The video is on FNN and this is an old looking 49 year old Japanese man who engaged in this sick fetish, wearing a pigeon head helmet. I want to know who subscribed to his X channel?

So... they've tolerated it for two years? Please please please let this man go to prison for at least a couple of years, and PLEASE while in there let the other prisoners treat him like he did the animals, each and every single minute of his life there.
