People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals announced today that it is suing hero pilot Chelsey “Sully” Sullenberger for the murder of 17 birds fatally injured in the crash of U.S. Airways Flight 1549 last month.

“For this man to be hailed as a so-called hero is an abomination,” said PETA spokesman Jan Mathers. “Do you think Kate Couric would be fawning all over Sullengerger if he'd sucked 17 Golden Retriever puppies into the engines of his precious airplane?”

Sullenberger has been cheered around the world for landing the Airbus A320 on the Hudson River, thus saving the lives of all 155 people onboard, including the co-pilot and a male flight attendant, who were both locked in the business class bathroom at the time of the incident.
