Feathers and blood from raven stuck to soup pot
In a video posted by TwinCafe Sup 88, a restaurant in Simpang Ampat in Seberang Perai, Penang, the owners claimed that the officer shot the raven without any prior warning.

They also said that the feathers and blood went into the gravy, making it impossible for them to serve the soup to customers.

Thus, they decided to discard the soup at a landfill.
“Whatever, even if we have no sustenance, we will still be grateful,” one of the owners expressed.
After the incident, an employee at the restaurant also washed the pot thoroughly.
