A pigeon that was suspected of being a Chinese language undercover agent has been cleared of wrongdoing and launched following a interval of months-long captivity. Sure, you learn that proper and, no, I’m not fucking with you.
The chicken in query was apparently picked up by legislation enforcement in India eight friggin’ months in the past after a number of safety guards determined that the chicken appeared suspicious.
The New York Instances notes that the chicken was “caught lurking” at a world port in Mumbai. Members of a particular legislation enforcement group, the Central Industrial Safety Drive, determined that the chicken may be as much as no good and the unlucky animal was drummed into what presumably handed for chicken jail on the native station.
The rationale that the law enforcement officials discovered the chicken suspicious was that it was outfitted with particular rings on its legs, considered one of which was embedded with a microchip. The pigeon additionally had writing on its legs that was etched in Chinese language cursive. Birds have been used for espionage before (in reality, the CIA has a weird history of utilizing pigeons to spy on individuals). That stated, it appears considerably protected to imagine that the peak of animal espionage is previously.
The rings and the chip had been finally despatched to a forensic lab for evaluation, whereas the chicken was despatched to remain at a Mumbai veterinary hospital. Finally, police acquired the outcomes of the {hardware} evaluation again and located that the microchip in query tracked the chicken’s location. After analyzing the chicken’s journey patterns, the investigator tasked with investigating the chicken determined that it was most likely a misplaced racing pigeon from Taiwan.
Problematically, police by no means went again to the veterinary hospital to inform the group that the chicken’s case had been closed. It was solely simply freed this week, after workers from the hospital, together with animal rights activists with PETA India, lobbied the federal government to authorize its launch.
