Maybe you saw the strange little story about the people who shot the sparrow that knocked over 23,000 dominoes during an attempt to set a world record. Now you can learn the rest of the story:
Under Dutch law, you need a permit to kill this kind of bird, and a permit can only be granted when there's a danger to public health or a crop," said agency spokesman Niels Dorland. "That was not the case."
"I might add: Is it really necessary to kill a bird that knocked over a few dominoes for a game?" he asked.
Dorland said the agency plans to submit the case to national prosecutors.
Expect to see this saga in a PETA ad any day now.
