Death threat for killer of Domino-toppling sparrow

AMSTERDAM — At least seven organisations have become involved in the saga surrounding the sparrow shot dead on Monday.

The little bird's crime was to knock over 23,000 of the 4.3 dominoes laid out for an attempt to break the domino toppling record in the Dutch province of Friesland on Friday. The decision was taken to shoot the bird after attempts to capture it alive were unsuccessful.

Animal rights group Dierenbescherming and the provincial authority have both appointed officials to investigate the shooting dead of the bird with an air gun. Dierenbescherming said sparrows are a protected species and a licence is required before killing one.

1. I could loan them Evita - she's good at capturing rogue songbirds

Nothing is more disturbing than seeing your precious princess cat with dead bird tailfeathers hanging from her mouth :cry:

3. Domino Theory proved wrong again!

Check this out brothers and sisters of the left:

«The little bird's crime was to knock over 23,000 of the 4.3 dominoes laid out»

The fascist killer pigs have no shame! Out to gun down the miracle bird of creation! Only 4.3 dominoes were laid out, yet it knocked over 23,000 of them. 5,000 times more than they had. And they want to kill it.

If only this bird could knock over my ten dollars right now, by knocking over 50,000 of them! Right on bird! I accept your magic abilities.
