Far too often, pranks result in innocent bystanders getting hurt, and that was the case this week during the lead-up to the Army-Air Force game in New York.

Sadly, Air Force’s falcon mascot suffered what could be life-threatening injuries as a result of a prank by Army cadets.

According to The Gazette, the 22-year-old falcon, Aurora, was taken from a colonel’s home as a prank but suffered an injured wing:

The bird was being brought back to Colorado on the team flight, and it is unclear whether it will have to be euthanized at this point.

Still, hopefully those responsible for this harmful prank are held responsible.
