An animal worker who shot a sparrow after
\n it almost wrecked a world record domino toppling bid has asked for police
\n protection after receiving death threats.<\/p>\n
Several international animal rights groups expressed outrage over the killing
\n of the sparrow that toppled 23,000 of the four million dominos set up for
\n record attempt in Holland.<\/p>\n
Investigations into the legality of the shooting in Leeuwarden have also
\n been launched.<\/p>\n
A representative of the animal management company that employs the man
\n said: "We have not made an official complaint as that would be no
\n use.<\/p>\n
"But if an idiot comes around here, we want a direct line to the police
\n so they can come quickly to help us."<\/p>\n
Organisers of the upcoming event have hired extra security staff following
\n the death threats and an offer of £2,000 made on Dutch radio to anyone
\n who topples the dominos prior to the event.<\/p>\n
