Staff at an Illinois zoo were forced to euthanize one of its flamingos on May 20 after a child threw a rock into its enclosure, severely injuring it.

During the incident that occurred at Miller Park Zoo, the rock had hit and broken the bird’s leg, which led to it having to be put down, according to the zoo’s official.
