Claremont man arrested for stoning Lake Gregory’s great egret to death

This story is so sad and cruel. Jeremey Jansen, 36, from Claremont viciously killed this beautiful large bird who popularly resides in Lake Gregory. Locals were so familiar with the egret, they named him Arthur. A video was taken of Jeremey hurling heavy rocks towards the harmless animal, striking it and sending it injured into the water. In an uncensored video on the Rim of the World community FB groups, you can hear Jeremey laughing as the bird was struck and dying. Locals yelled at him that the bird was drowning, and this evil person started laughing. Jeremey and two participant friends left Lake Gregory, but locals captured the event on video. The internet sleuths on the mountain traced one person in the video, Alfred Hernandez, who led sheriffs to Jeremey. His first court case in the animal cruelty charges is tomorrow. Justice for Arthur!
