Please Help Bring Home Angus From Abuse

 Please Sign Petition To Help Poor Angus get home to a loving person.

  • Target: President RSPCA, Dr. Hugh Wirth & RSPCA VIC Chief Executive Officer, Maria Mercurio.
  • Sponsored by: The Parrot Rescue Centre
On several occasions, Mr. Justin Lawther took "his' clipped male Eclectus parrot 'Angus' for a wild ride on the windshield of his car at speeds of up to 100 km/h on a highway in Melbourne.  Angus was hanging on to nothing but the windshield wipers.  Mr. Lawther video recorded the event and published it in the comedy category of YouTube along with several other videos of similar "rides" filmed in different backstreets around Melbourne.
During one 100 km/h ride, Mr. Lawther at times turned on the windshield wipers - at other times made rapid stops.  These seemed to be attempts to knock the bird off the car, but Mr. Lawther states he wanted the bird "to feel the wind in his feathers".  On one news story, after being told that people consider his actions cruel, his quote was "It doesn't matter to me".
After the RSPCA became involved, Mr. Lawther absconded with the bird and neither have since been found.  It has come to light that Angus is very likely a bird that was separated from its real owner in December 2010.
