Pesky peacocks elude the law, reports the Honolulu Advertiser. After the media inspired/covered public outrage over the death-by-archery peacock elimination strategy at Waimea Valley Audubon Center, someone apparently clued them into the fact that these giant, showy fowl are on the prowl all over...

There's no law against them. The Humane Society won't take them. The DLNR wants no part of them, and cops aren't prepared to do anything about them, either (unless, you know, they threaten someone). So they roam free.
"Scratching cars, damaging chrome parts of motorcycles, damaging plants and, last but not least, the poop it left behind was just awful," laments McCully resident Eric Yamanaka.
Anyone got peacock encounters to report? The fact that they roam free inside the Honolulu Zoo freaks my wife out enough as it is...
