Tracy Dixon, 47, and Nicola Bradley, 35, were found guilty of “sadistically” torturing an African grey parrot named Sparky until the bird died, according to local reports.
“You together sadistically tortured and essentially killed Sparky,” Carlisle Crown Court Judge Richard Archer told the women last month, according to SWNS News.
He awoke hours later and found his shaving cream had been sprayed over Sparky’s cage, The Guardian reported. Dixon and Bradley reportedly tortured the bird by covering her in furniture and metal polish, as well as gloss paint, and hit the animal with a towel, according to prosecutors. Both of the women denied causing unnecessary suffering to the bird during their trial and blamed each other for the crime, The Guardian reported.
