I haven’t opened the article yet, but I’m gonna guess it’s the Flamingo casino.

Edit: Bingpot:

Police say Mitchell Fairbarn, a 34-year-old tourist from Ontario, Canada, was caught on surveillance footage in March hopping a fence to get inside the flamingo habitat at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino — and stealing a flamingo named Peachy

Over the course of my entire life, I've never heard of a flamingo casino.

Good on you for your specialized trivia knowledge.

Canadian Randy Marsh.

This chud was convicted. If he had done this to a Canada goose he would have had Wayne to deal with and I suggest you let that marinate.
