Because pigeons are people, too
Talk about wasted resources:
I won't even comment on the absurdity of Perry's other quote in the Times blurb:
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals announced today it is offering a $2,000 reward for information on one or more shooters involved in impaling pigeons in downtown Seattle with metal darts.Perry and her brainwashed PETA cohorts are living in a dreamland, one where it's okay to throw $2,000 down the drain to make a political statement about the value of every single life (because even the life of disease-ridden winged rats is worth saving). Apparently for these folks, the never-ending list of injustices being perpetrated against human beings on a daily basis - even just here in Seattle - is worth turning a blind to. But somebody's messing with the pigeons? They gotta go.
Several Seattle residents have called PETA in the past two weeks to report seeing three injured pigeons fluttering around with needle-like projectiles — about three to four inches long — piercing their heads, said Tori Perry, cruelty case worker for the Norfolk, Virginia-based organization.
[...]
The darts were fired from a blow gun, lodging directly behind the birds' eyes without penetrating their brains, Perry said.
I won't even comment on the absurdity of Perry's other quote in the Times blurb:
This is just a horrifying case," she said. "Someone who would do this to an animal is a short step away from doing this to a human being."Sort of speaks for itself, doesn't it?
