LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — The animal abuse case involving the Canadian tourist accused of injuring several flamingos and stealing one on the Las Vegas Strip, is set to move up to District Court.
Mitchell Fairbarn of Ontario, Canada, faces four counts of animal cruelty after surveillance video allegedly showed him entering a wildlife habitat at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino and grabbing several flamingos.

Fairbarn has yet to appear for a single court hearing since his arrest, after a judge allowed him to waive his court appearances. He is currently wearing an ankle monitor and is not allowed on the Las Vegas Strip.
It is unclear if that will continue in District Court…
