I dont know whether to laugh or cry on this one, but the bird seems to have come off OK, but then again, it is a little barbaric dont you think??

Barbie transplant for seagull
July 13, 2004
A badly injured seagull was saved after its wounded leg was amputated and replaced with parts from a Barbie doll.
Florida's Local 6 News reports the seagull was operated on by the crew of a yacht visiting the city of Antalya, Turkey.
The crew, apparently inspired by peg-leg pirates, amputated the bird's leg and created a new one using a Barbie doll's leg.
They made a foot from the doll's hand.
The seagull has made a good recovery and is now walking, and even running, around the boat on the new leg.
