Taiwanese Man Presses Charges Against Owners of Mynah Bird
A Taiwanese man has tried to sue his five neighbors for training their mynah bird to insult him.
Wang Han-chin, an electrician in central Taiwan, claims that the offensive bird curses at him, calling him a “clueless, big-mouthed idiot”, every morning as he leaves for work.
He believes the bird’s owners have trained the mynah bird to insult him as revenge after he filed a complaint against them to the police that they were making too much noise.
The basis of his lawsuit alleges that the bird’s insults caused him serious distress and was the cause of his loss of concentration at work resulting in burn injuries.
The bird’s owners denied the allegations and prosecutors were forced to drop the charges because there was no direct evidence linking the bird to Wang’s injuries.
The mynah bird in question has nothing to say about the accusations and shall be judged by another tribunal beyond human understanding and judgment.
Still one can only wonder when hearing about such a lawsuit:
Could the bird possibly be right?
