Pigeons Attacked with Darts in the head in Seattle, Washington alarmed people in the city center. According to reports, there are at least three birds found alive with the needlelike projectiles in their heads.

"This is just a horrifying case," Tori Perry, a cruelty case worker for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, told the Seattle Times.

"Someone who would do this to an animal is a short step away from doing this to a human being."

The darts appear to have been fired from a blow gun and have not penetrated the pigeons' brains, Perry said. The injuries, however, are likely to worsen and become infected, resulting in "a very, very painful death," she added.
