Doves Released for Wedding Promptly Captured and Eaten by Residents of Chinese Town

Stomachs win out over sentiments.

A Chinese news site is reporting that on November 13 wedding photographers intending to take pictures of loving couples surrounded by doves had their plans disrupted by some hungry citizens in the town of Hefei. It seems nearly 100 white doves were purchased and released on the ironically named Swan Lake, in order to create a magical background for wedding photograps. However, the majority of the birds were quickly snapped up by locals, leaving only a few to serve as photo props. A resident explained, “This is an edible dove; it can be eaten."
