Viral Video: Man on Bike Hits Peacock, Crowd Brutally Plucks Feathers From Injured Bird

A disturbing viral video has sparked outrage after people were seen plucking feathers from an injured peacock hit by a bike. Instead of helping the national bird, the crowd allegedly ignored its pain and treated it cruelly.

A deeply disturbing video circulating on social media has left people shocked and angry across the country. The clip reportedly shows India’s national bird, a peacock, being brutally treated by a crowd after it was hit by a speeding bike while trying to cross a road. Instead of helping the injured bird, people were seen plucking its feathers while it was still alive and screaming in pain.

Peacock Left Crying in Pain After Road Accident

According to the viral video, the peacock was crossing the road when a bike suddenly ran over it. The badly injured bird collapsed on the roadside, struggling in pain and crying helplessly. What followed shocked viewers even more. Rather than rushing the bird to safety or calling for help, several people gathered around and began pulling out its feathers one by one.

Some individuals were reportedly so desperate to collect the feathers that they even tore the bird’s skin in the process. The heartbreaking visuals have triggered strong reactions online, with many users calling the act cruel, inhuman, and shameful. The video was shared by a social media user named Debashish Sarkar, who wrote that “humanity is probably dying from our hearts.” However, the exact location and date of the incident have not yet been confirmed.

जिस देश में राष्ट्रीय पक्षी तक सुरक्षित नहीं…
वहाँ इंसानियत के ज़िंदा होने पर भी सवाल उठते हैं। 🥀
लोग मदद करने नहीं,
उसके पंख नोचने पहुंच गए…
शायद अब दिलों से इंसानियत खत्म होती जा रही है। 😔🕊️#NationalBird #NationalShame #Peacock pic.twitter.com/dsz54nLij7
