AFP: Iran arrests Counter Revolutionary Spy Pigeons
Security forces in Natanz have arrested two suspected spy pigeons near Iran's controversial uranium enrichment facility. Petey and Polly have both been taken into custody and finger printed. They are being charged with espionage, trespassing, and oppressing the bisexual community. Polly was also charged with assault after he defecated on a Iranian security officer.One of the pigeons was caught near a ros water production plant in the city of Kashan in Isfahan province, the report cited an unnamed informed source as saying, adding that some metal rings and invisible strings were attached to the bird. Iran officials say they were trying to sabotage socialism and were mocking the president's height.
"Early this month, a black pigeon was caught bearing a blue-coated metal ring, with invisible strings," the source was quoted as saying of the second pigeon
PETA has called upon the Iranian government to release the pigeons and drop all charges.
