PETA Will Soon Call for the Banning of Fireworks Thanks to Beebe Blackbirds

Can't you see it now? Naked actors, athletes, and hot women in (out of) military uniforms in support of PETA claiming they would rather get naked on the Fourth of July than shoot fireworks off. Crazy, I know, but I would expect a major campaign against the fireworks industry this year based on the strange conclusion drawn from scientists who claim fireworks were the cause of the megadeath of red winged blackbirds in Beebe, Arkansas.

The AP reports the strange coincidence:

First, New Year's Eve fireworks were blamed in central Arkansas for making thousands of blackbirds confused, crashing into homes, cars and each other. Then 300 miles to the south in Louisiana, power lines likely killed about 450 birds, littering a highway near Baton Rouge.

It's almost certainly a coincidence the events happened within days of each other, Louisiana's state wildlife veterinarian Jim LaCour said Tuesday. "I haven't found anything to link the two at this point."


What are the chances as more fish are washing up on shores not just in the United States, but now in Brazil too? Something doesn't pass the smell test here. If this is the case, why aren't their more bird megadeaths on the Fourth of July when the entire sky from sea to shining see is lit up like a Roman candle?

None the less, I am sure PETA will buy into the fireworks theory, and so I expect to see more nudity on July 4, 2011, which I am sure Pamela Anderson is already to strip for. Of course, when isn't she ready to take off her clothes?
