A sparrow that knocked over 23,000 dominoes set up for a world record attempt was shot dead. The Dutch animal protection agency began investigating the claim yesterday. The bird flew into an exhibition centre on Monday and, after disturbing the event, was chased into a corner and shot dead. It was a common house sparrow, an endangered species. The agency plans to submit the case to prosecutors. Endemol, the TV firm which organized the event, defended the killing; saying more than 100 people had worked for more than a month setting up the dominoes.

Vrabac koji je srušio više od 23.000 domina postavljenih u cilju pokušaja obaranja svetskog rekorda ustreljen je. Holandska agencija za zaštitu životinja juče je započela ispitivanje povodom ove tvrdnje. Ptičica je uletela i jedan izložbeni centar u ponedeljak, i pošto je poremetila odvijanje događaja, saterana je u ugao i ustreljena. Bio je to običan kućni vrabac, jedna ugrožena vrsta. Agencija planira da ovaj slučaj prosledi javnom tužiocu. Endemol, TV kompanija koja je organizovala događaj, opravdavala je ovo ubistvo rekavši da je više od 100 ljudi radilo preko mesec dana na postavljanju domina.
