WICHITA, Kan. (AP) – A Wichita man faces animal cruelty charges after police say he drunkenly fed a live pet parakeet to his pit bull following an argument.

Police say the bird belonged to the children of a woman with whom the 30-year-old man lives. The Wichita Eagle reports the man allegedly broke the parakeet’s wing before feeding it to his dog early Tuesday.

A police report says the man and woman argued after he came home drunk. The woman called 911, angering the man and prompting him to take the pet bird and give it to the pit bull.

The report says four people saw the bird being eaten by the dog.
