A devastated family are calling for justice after their beloved pet peacock was brutally killed by an 'evil' gang of catapult-wielding youths. <br/><br/>Disturbing CCTV footage shows a group of youths as young as ten firing objects at the rescued peacock, called River, which was sitting in a tree in Boughton Monchelsea, Kent. <br/><br/>The injured bird is later seen falling to the ground before the sick youths are seen holding it aloft like a trophy, ripping its feathers out and hiding its body. <br/><br/>River's heartbroken owners Alison Carter and daughter Macey Michael-Carter, said their pet was 'one of the family'. <br/><br/>The family, who have five other peacocks, are now demanding the youths are caught and punished for killing their pet - after being ominously threatened by one of the gang who said, 'You'll be next'.<br/><br/>Alison and Macey were just about to go on holiday earlier this month when they were told River had been targeted. <br/><br/>CCTV from a neighbour’s camera shows a group of five boys and one girl, three armed with slingshots, taking turns at shooting River, who was perched in a tree. <br/><br/>Three boys are seen aiming and firing at the helpless bird 20 times from the road before climbing over the fence onto the roof of a private property to fire at the animal again.<br/><br/>The footage then captures the bright-feathered bird falling out of the tree, flapping in distress and cowering in a corner.<br/><br/>Three of the gang continue to fire at the bird after climbing onto the roof of a private property before two make their way onto the woodyard grounds. <br/><br/>One of the boys is then seen holding the peacock by its wings like a trophy, before another rips out some of its feathers. <br/><br/>Before fleeing the property, one of the gang picks up the peacock and is seen trying to hide it in a corner behind some wood. <br/><br/>\
