    NO NOT FLACO kitty-cri-screm

    Fuck them for blaming the person who freed him and not the fucking terrible anti-life hellhole that is New York.

    I will bet my entire asshole that once they test the body they will find rat poison or something that indicates a car hit him.

    And even if those things didn't kill him, the lack of regulations on making buildings OUT OF FUCKING GLASS is probably to blame.

    Fuck this unregulated hellhole. Justice for Flaco!

    R.I.P. My feathered friend

    RIP. I remember listening to a podcast (was it Trashfuture?) where they talked about birds and bats being killed en masse by poorly designed buildings. For many animals, including those that use echolocation, glass surfaces apparently are indistinguishable from lakes or static water and it completely messes with their sense of space.
