a reliable source confirmed that the deaths of the birds and fish were the result of an ongoing race war in the animal kingdom. the black birds attacked first, killing over 100,000 drum fish (a vital food source for larger white birds in the area.) when word of the killings got to the white birds, they planned a swift and surprise ambush/attack, killing over 1,000 black birds.

lines are being drawn, and battles are being plotted. it looks like the colored animals have finally had enough of the racism and abuse. why do white polar bears sell coca cola, and black bears are being shot at by sarah palin? why do white doves fly freely in weddings and dreams, and black crows are only invited to funerals and road kill? why are black rats always running the streets eating garbage, and white rats in comfortable and clean labs with access to the best drugs?

violence is never the answer, and this is never how one would want to start the new year. my heart goes out to all killed by the violence. i just pray and hope that the zebra, panda, and penguin mediators get together quickly and make an agreement within the animal kingdom to end the racism and stop the killings.
