Kite flying festival - 14 Jan

In India Kite Flying is a big festival in Gujarat India, only behind Navratri and Diwali in terms of importance. While I dont want to make this a wiki article of Kite Flying, here are some links on it today:

But look at following one - that argues many birds are killed during this festival because they get trapped in the flying kites.

Look who is talking --- why don't you think about how many chickens you are going to eat today, before asking how many birds are killed by kites - which an accident rather than cruelty to fill your hunger.
