A Busch Gardens visitor reached into the Jambo Junction habitat, picked up a Chilean flamingo named Pinky, and slammed her into the ground in a rage.

Around 6:45 p.m. on August 3, 2016, Joseph Carrao, 45, was visiting Busch Gardens Tampa Bay's Jambo Junction animal viewing area with his family when witnesses say he reached into the pen, picked up a Chilean flamingo named Pinky, and slammed her into the ground in a rage. Pinky suffered severe injuries, and park veterinarians made the decision to humanely euthanize her because of the extent of the harm. Carrao was arrested and charged with felony animal cruelty.
