Alabama authorities are searching for the person who committed a "sickening'" and "disturbing" crime after a pelican was discovered dead, with black electrical tape bound around its beak and rope wrapped around a wing and its feet.

The state’s Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries agents were investigating the pelican’s death after the bird was found in Baldwin County, according to a Facebook post this week.


The Alabama Ecological Services Field Office posted pictures of the dead bird with a caption asking for any information regarding the "disturbing crime."


“Not only is this a violation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. It's also a sickening thing to do,” the caption stated.

Under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, it is illegal to take, buy or sell the animals. Any person who violates the act could receive a fine up to $500 or six months behind bars.

Film at 11.... 😱


Most likely the work of that bassard Bloody.... 😠

I'd love to be able to take a rifle on my boat with me and shoot all the seals who try to steal my fish.

I've had 10-12 pound yellowtail stolen by them bassards... not to mention if you fish with live bait, they come by and take it.

The last one was a really big bull, and he's likely still regretting that decision. He got away with a $15 lure, but it had 2 treble hooks on it, and one was stuck in his face, while the other was stuck in his neck, and the yellowtail was still attached to the lure, too. I got back all the line I could after fighting with him for 15 minutes. Brought him up alongside the boat, saw how bad he was hooked... and cut the line.

F***er.
