Dutch to Launch Investigation into Killing of.... A SPARROW!

You can't make this up. Truly. The article pretty much speaks for itself.

The Dutch animal protection agency said Tuesday it is investigating the shooting death of a sparrow that knocked over 23,000 dominoes during an attempt to set a world record.
The ill-fated bird flew into an exposition center, threatening to derail a world record Monday, before it was chased into a corner and shot by an exterminator with an air rifle..."That bird was flying around and knocking over a lot of dominoes. More than 100 people from 12 countries had worked for more than a month setting them up," he said...
"I think they were awfully fast to pull out a rifle," he said. "If a person started knocking over a few dominoes they wouldn't shoot him would they?"

I know "His eye is on the sparrow," but this is just ridiculous. Sure, it could have been handled in a more humane way, but equating the killing of a sparrow to the killing of a human being in this way is beyond silly.
