Pope Francis’ Peace Doves Brutally Attacked By Asshole Birds Upon Release
The doves had been released as a symbol of peace for Ukraine. Definitive prove that birds are, indeed, total fucking jerks.
Everybody’s favourite Pope Francis spent his Sunday at the Vatican City’s St. Peter’s Square, addressing thousands of people in his weekly Angelus prayer. This week’s sermon focused on Ukraine, where thousands converged in fatal protests last week to demand president Viktor Yanukovych stand down.
Pope Favourite raised hopes for a “constructive dialogue between the institutions and civil society”, reminding both sides of the importance of “the spirit of peace and a search for the common good”.
He then had two lovely children release two lovely white doves in a lovely symbolic gesture of peace. Which backfired immediately, after a seagull and crow swooped down and violently attacked them.
Here’s what happened to dove #1, as the huge crowd, and probably Jesus, watched on:
And here’s what happened to dove #2.

Also, can we all just take a second to zoom in on the seagull’s beak?
