Total POS Shoots And Kills A Couple Of Beautiful Birds In His Back Yard, His Neighbor Loses It

PINELLAS PARK, Fla. — In this cell phone video, you can hear the anger directed at a man who authorities say shot and killed a great blue heron in his backyard.

"Call the police. This mother**** is shooting our birds. You moved into the bird's house. You can't kill the animals that live here."

A neighbor confronted Joseph White on Saturday and recorded the exchange.

"You want to hurt me? Is that what you want to do?" White asks the man in the video.

"I want to see you pay now. You can't kill these wild birds," the neighbor replied.

Eddie Alas, who lives next door, went outside when he heard the screaming.

Neighbors called Florida Fish and Wildlife officers, who said they found one dead great blue heron, which is federally protected, and a dead mallard duck.

"Our officers interviewed Mr. White, where he admitted to using a pellet rifle to shoot the great blue heron. He explained he was trying to keep shore birds and ducks from congregating near his pool," said FWC Officer Bradley Johnson.

In the video, you can hear White saying he was sorry and that he didn't mean to kill the heron. The penalties for violating the Migratory Bird Treaty Act are wide-ranging and can include thousands of dollars in fines and jail time.
