A sparrow which was shot dead for knocking over 23,000 dominoes in the Netherlands is to go on display at Rotterdam's Natural History Museum.
The bird almost spoiled a televised world record attempt before it was killed with an air rifle. The shooting caused a public outcry. Animal rights groups condemned the bird's killing last month and a website was erected in its honour. On Friday, the bird's killer was fined for shooting a protected species. Prosecutors said the exterminator who killed it should have known better and fined him 170 euros (£114; $200). Freezer The organisers argued the killing was justified, as more than 100 people had worked for a month setting up the dominoes, but they held a TV memorial for the bird. They went on to topple about four million dominoes, claiming a new record - which still has to be verified by Guinness World Records. The bird was kept in a government freezer after its killing became a criminal matter. It will be placed on top of a box of dominoes in an exhibition on sparrows next year. Source.................. |
