who knew pigeons were into steve martin?

Nah, not really, someone has been shooting darts at pigeons with a blowgun. Seriously, look at the picture of the pigeon in that article and tell me you don't immediately think of this,

There are now a couple of pigeons walking around Seattle with darts stuck through their heads. The darts went through a space on the pigeon's head that exists between the pigeon's eye and brain, so that the dart do any damage to their brain. However they could die of infection if the darts aren't removed and the wounds cleaned.

While it is abusive to shoot these pigeons in a way that kills them in a slow, painful and inhumane way, the PETA whining is unbearable.

"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."

I really despise PETA.

I prefer .20 gauge birdshot; why make them suffer.

Somebody had best get Pixy on the horn. Seems Rush killed the chief's site entirely; I can't get into either the main site or the new comments thingy.

6 Well, it's not like pigeons have a whole lot of brain anyway.

I personally think it's reprehensible to go around hurting animals if you aren't going to actually eat them.

That said, these PETA creeps are just alien creatures to me. Their ability to put humans and animals on even par is so alien to me that my mind just... wobbles.

7 Yeah, I can accept it if its done in a humane manner and if you're doing it for need or because said critter dangerous or destructive.

8 I grew up in a hunting family. We didn't hunt for purely the sport of it. Anything we did shoot it was because it was good to eat or if it were a skunk or raccoon as they caused trouble with our chickens.

The idea of killing critters just because you can is pretty sad, really. And my dad hunted as a kid because times were lean and sometimes that was all the family got to eat - what he put on the table while my grandfather was out cutting down trees with a two man saw (he was one of the first to use a chainsaw in those parts and hated it passionately)

Woah. PETA actually are concerned about HUMANS?!?!?

Next thing you know they will actually start valuing human life over animals.... NAH.
