A U.S. man was sentenced to five months in jail after he and a friend, acting on wounded pride, gunned down an ostrich that had kicked them as their female companions laughed, a newspaper reported on Saturday.
"This whole thing is about male pride," prosecutor Steve Wagstaffe said, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

The powerful flightless bird, named Gaylord, kicked Timothy McKevitt, 19, and Jonathon Porter, 21, last October when they trespassed on an ostrich ranch south of San Francisco after a night of drinking, the paper cited attorneys as saying.

As the startled bird attacked, the women began to laugh, prosecutors said. McKevitt was kicked in the ribs and knocked over, while Porter suffered scrapes and bruises.

The two men returned with a rifle and shotgun seeking revenge, the Chronicle said. They fired at least seven shots at Gaylord, according to a police report.

McKevitt, free on bail, was ordered to turn himself in on Nov. 3. Porter was sentenced in March to seven months in jail after pleading no contest in the ostrich killing, the paper reported.

Considering it was property of someone else, yeah. And that they had already trespassed on the property earlier.

Ostrichs are not cheap either.

North Carolina Ostrich Breeders Association

Producers should plan ahead when buying breeding stock to avoid potential inbreeding problems. Be careful to avoid purchasing cull stock and non-breeders. When purchasing adults obtain only guaranteed breeders from reliable sources. Be realistic on price. In North Carolina, a chick breeding pair costs approximately $6,000 and an adult pair (1-year-old) costs about $12,000. Before one attempts such an undertaking, it is highly recommended that marketing information for ostrich products should be investigated. This information can be obtained by contacting the North Carolina Ostrich Breeders Association or the American Ostrich Association.
