PETA Blames US Airways for Bird Deaths

People for the Ethical Teasing of Animals today issued a statement accusing US Airways of cruelty to bird animals after an unknown number of innocent avian Canadian geese were sucked into the jet engines of the airliner that crashed-landed in the Hudson River today. “News reporters and US Airways are calling this a “bird attack,” the statement read. “Innocent birds were slaughtered today and met their fate in the most horrible manner imaginable. We call on the airline industry to investigate this unprovoked attack on innocent birds and to set new aviation standards and rules to avoid future animal slaughters such as took place today.” The government of Canada is also reportedly calling an emergency meeting of its homeland security ministers to decide on its reaction to the attack on its national avians living in the U.S.
