He was given to me to care and nurture due to my fondness of his specie, excitedly I took it upon me to tend and tame it to ensure that it's beauty and features emerge
He was a toast of many because of its over whelming love for friends and family. He abhorred foes and strangers and rightly so, as he scares them off the compound because it's configured by nature to do so.
An unfortunate twist occurred on a weekend when my adorable friend returned home from playing with folks of its kind with a new nasty habit of devouring birds around, the misbehavior was actually first noticed by a neighbor who came running down to our compound with so much anger and shout of disgust at the act committed by my friend, who had invaded her cage and tore in pieces the little birds kept in the cage, apologies were said on my friend behalf and compensation paid to the dishearten neighbor for the loss suffered.
The following morning witnessed the massacre of my birds by my friend who seems to be mentally ill to do such havoc, out of anger my elder brother brought out a chain and tied my friend to the tree in front of the house in order to reduce the movement and havoc it might cause.
On a fateful evening, some calabar men while walking through the street sighted my friend that was tied to the tree and approach my father who was enjoying the cool evening with a bottle of wine and groundnut, they enquired if he was interested in selling my friend to them
As they are interested to have it for their celebration party the next day, happily my father responded, why not? If you can pay for it. Of what use is it to us than to cause unnecessary headache to us? They reached a price and was about leaving when I arrived from school, I could not rescue the situation due to the recent terrible havoc it has caused.
I decided to follow the new owners to see what will be done to it. I was in tears as I saw my friend covered up in a sack and pummelled by the heavy men around, the scream of my friend remains audible till date

My friend Jack was gruesomely murdered by a set of people who care less about animal rights.
Lets support animal rights in Nigeria.
