Didn't I see this exact same scenario on Seinfeld?

When I saw the headline I thought this would be another pizza killing.

When are the Dutch going to mourn all the disabled babies their "doctors" put to death?

The friggin' "animal rights" freaks have gone so far as to offer several thousand dollars to any individual who can purposefully sabotage the dominos. All for a nastly little drab bird whose main purpose in life is crapping on freshly washed cars.

The sparrow will be commemorated in a live Dutch television broadcast Things that make you go ... oh jeez!
This must be where they got the term, Stuck on Stupid.
They need some sparrows? I can send them a few hundred!
What friggin morons!

Don't get me wrong, I love birds. I have feeders and encourage every species that I can (no Starlings, Grackles or Canada Geese, though, lol) to enhabit my property.
But, this is ludicrous. How many sparrows die in a day from colliding with cars or plate glass windows? What is the lifespan of a sparrow, anyway, two years?
These people are doomed if there is ever an economic collapse that would force them to huntfor sustenance. They're just too sensitive to survive.

Sparrows are a protected species?Yes. In a country where the innocent unborn are slaughtered by the thousands, and the weak and infirm are euthanized.

Weird, their 4500 wind turbines are wiping birds out by the thousands, and they morne the one sparrow. Europeans are a pathetic lot.

Shooting the bird created a potential hazard. An Exocet rocket would have been more precise.

Yep, "Huh", all right, and a slight turn of the head and a little chuckle!
I was discussing this with some friends at the pub last night, and someone said they thought that certain type of what they called a "house sparrow" was a protected species. Were they pulling my leg? Anybody know? Nothing rides on this, other than my curiosity.

They should be crying over the loss of their culture as they are going to be speaking farsi in a decade, not some tree rat.
Someone call the wtf kitty please...

When I first started reading this article, I thought it was a piece of satire. I'm not kidding.
These people get so upset over a bird, but don't bat an eyelash over abortion, euthanasia, prostitution, drug abuse, etc. No wonder they call it the Netherlands.
