Looks like he'll be getting fed for the next 2 months - on your dime.

And what's he doing, being homeless?

I thought you guys had lots of spare, surplus homes down there...

Hungry homeless man sentenced to 60 days in jail for choking pelican to
death

Posted: 09/07/2012 01:59:44 PM PDT

A homeless man was sentenced today to 60 days in jail for choking a
pelican to death because he was hungry.

The District Attorney's Office said Sergio Alvarez, 30, caught the bird
near the Malibu pier on Aug. 22.

About 5:50 p.m. that day, a bystander flagged down a sheriff's deputy
and said a man was choking a pelican.

When the deputy showed up, the brown pelican "flapped its wings in
distress until its body went limp and died," sheriff's Lt. Robert Wiard
said at the time.

Alvarez first said he found the bird dead, but later admitted he caught
it and killed it because he was hungry and hadn't caught any fish, a
spokeswoman for the district attorney said.

Brown pelicans are protected by state law. In a Van Nuys courtroom,
Alvarez pleaded no contest to animal cruelty. Judge Jessica Silvers
sentenced him to 60 days in jail and a year's probation, prosecutors
said.

I’m in Southern California.
Most homeless people are crazy
and certainly not hungry
unless their too crazy to go
to one of many places in
downtown Los Angeles that give free food.
