Pigeons Are Latest Victims of Argentina Crisis http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/nm/20020717/od_nm/pigeons_dc_1 Wed Jul 17, 8:30 AM ET BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Reuters) - Pigeons have become the latest victim of Argentina's economic crisis, with daily anti-government protests scaring off hundreds of the birds from their traditional habitat around the capital's central squares, according to the daily La Nacion newspaper. The Buenos Aires city center, which pigeons and pedestrians have cohabited for years, has become a noisy inferno where angry Argentines bang pots and pans and explode fireworks to protest rising unemployment and a freeze of most saving accounts. La Nacion said residents of outlying wealthy neighborhoods, whose tree-lined avenues have been free from most protests, have complained that the newly exiled pigeons are dumping excrement on their patios and pavements. Several Argentine protesters have been killed and dozens have been injured in anti-government protests this year amid the country's worst ever economic recession. _________________________________ Copyright � 2002 Reuters Limited.
