This is old news. Plannned Parenthood sent several highly trained chickens
to various overcrowded cities in India with instructions to lure
non-swimmers to their deaths. In a related story, several squadrons of
suicide chickens are making their way to various airports in the New Dehli
region disguised as cargo on several jet flights. After takeoff, the birds
will break out of the aircraft and throw themselves into the engine
turbines- turning themselves into instant puree- and causing the planes to
crash into heavily populated areas thereby cleansing neighborhoods of
unwanteds. Members of Parliment from the region have cried foul.
