EDM 442: Louis the Pittencrieff Park peacock

That this House acknowledges the untimely death of King Louis, one of the famous peacocks of Dunfermline’s Pittencrieff Park; applauds the hard work of the volunteers who care for the city’s peacocks and thanks each and every one of them for their generosity of spirit and their kindness in ensuring the peacocks are well tended; regrets that Louis’ untimely death stemmed from injuries sustained in a cruel attack on the peacock enclosure from which the dedicated volunteers nursed Louis to an improving health status; and notes the quote by Scottish naturalist John Muir that, any glimpse into the life of an animal quickens our own and makes it so much the larger and better in every way.
