Nearly wrecked it...

I saw it the other day, that would really have been bad if all the dominoes were knocked over.

Funny how CNN can make it sound like a huge tragedy that a sparrow was shot half-way around the world. Check Here

Sad thing is that the man who shot the bird has gotten death threads by animal right groups and a radio station offered 3000 Euro if you could knock over more dominoes in a original way and more of that nonsense.

Easy Flyer.

So this actually went global? pffff...
There's a good side and a bad side to that.

I think people shouldn't kill animals, especially not for stupid reasons.

[ATI_7500]

But they had a damn good reason.

[beefhole]

But they had a damn good reason. ;D

Yes they did.

This is absurd.  "they shouldnt've shot the bird for knocking down a few blocks for a game."  >:(

A FEW BLOCKS FOR A GAME?  How about 23,000!  Can you imagine how much bloody work it took to set up 4 freakin million dominoes?

So they killed a bird.  Live with it!

[beaky]

I don't see why they had to shoot a sparrow, who can be excused for having no idea what a domino  is or why anybody would waste precious time playing with them instead of looking for food, fighting for turf, mating, and protecting their young...
and, oh yeah- flying.

 >:(

Odd that they could rustle up a gun but not a net...and making sure the windows were closed or screened might have been a good idea.    But then again, the one time I tried to corner a sparrow and catch it, it dropped dead, apparently from fright.

My suggestion to those animal huggers:

Find some common sense. Kill the man?? Are they STUPID?? Don't they realize that if they kill a man over dumb stuff like that they they will be the ones to face total prosecution and then [most likely under 1st degree murder - planned or pre-emptive killing] face life imprisonment without the possibility of parole?

Don't forget, the media likes to make trageties look more worse than they already are. So, if killing a stupid bird that got in the way of a really-Really-REALLY-NOT-so-SIMPLE task is shocking, then imagine the situation if someone actually killed the bird's shooter.

Again, common sense for crying out loud.

I think shooting the bird was a tad excessive. For crying out loud it is only a game

[Saitek]

I love animals but it this case it was not an ordinary situation. Imagine you had spent days lining up 23,000 dominoes.
I think though it was a case of getting the sparrow done and dusted before he could do any more damage ratehr than chasing it around and creating more carnage.  ::)

Bleeding dominoes! Splintered and excessively sharp!

I agree!!

And about animal activist getting loadsa punishment........This is still holland so don't bet on it!

[Omag 2.0]

Idiots! Shooting a bird for a stupid all night boring show... really exciting... watching over 4 million domino's drop... Hijacking one of my favorite tv-channels for an entire evening... repeated every year... getting longer every year... The should superglue the whole lot to the floor!

[ozzy72]

They had it on telly here last night and I boycotted it as I feel shooting innocent animals is STUPID! You should only kill animals for food or if they endanger human life....
I think anyone who takes dominoes this seriously needs to sit on the toilet and have a good w*** for about a week until they realise there is more to life than little rectangular pieces of plastic
I'm off to shoot down some Dutch planes in CFS2 now to complete my act of protest....
Oh and apparently in Holland the house sparrow is an endangered species
