JERSEY CITY, N.J.--Things went wrong at a Sept. 11 anniversary ceremony last week when dozens of white pigeons were released. Some of the birds got tangled in onlookers' hair or fell into the Hudson River. Several were injured later when they crashed into office windows, and others were found dead. Instead of getting homing pigeons, organizers of the Sept. 11 service bought their birds at a poultry shop.

Why am I not suprised that this was reported in a Los Angles newspaper?
To recap in reality language:
White pigeons were saved from becoming squabs in a poultry shop, only to die in nature. PETA must be horrified!!

Uh..I guess that means that PETA will blame the victims for the dead birds.

There's already more than enough pigeons - also known as "rats with wings" - in New York City. I say, good riddance. The more pigeons in the Hudson River, the better.
