Per the birds, we are all doomed.

VATICAN CITY — Two white doves that were released by children standing alongside Pope Francis as a peace gesture have been attacked by other birds.

As tens of thousands of people watched in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday, a seagull and a large black crow swept down on the doves right after they were set free from an open window of the Apostolic Palace.

One dove lost some feathers as it broke free from the gull. But the crow pecked repeatedly at the other dove.

It was not clear what happened to the doves as they flew off.

While speaking at the window beforehand, Francis had appealed for peace in Ukraine, where anti-government protesters have died.

But pretty. As we all know, pretty = good and ugly = bad.

I'd replace Blue Jays with robin red breasts.

Those birds make a decent hamburger.

And the fries are outstanding.

 
Would have been cool to see a hawk or falcon snatch one out of the sky.

Ummm, sorry kids.

Satan sends a pair of birds to brutally murder the winged messengers of god and that's not news?!

Oh I don't associate any symbolism to any of it I guess. I C why you would feel that way or look at it that way but the whole thing requires me to put some credibility with whoever tossed the doves and I don't.

i could have thrown them out the window and they would have been eaten. Survival of the fittest, sounds like an evolutionary tale for the masses.

I really don't feel that way, I was just being silly. I think it's a funny story, but I don't think it's news, either.
