SEOUL (AFP)--Angry South Koreans cut the heads off live pheasants, Japan's national bird, on Thursday in a bloody protest sparked by Tokyo's claim to a group of islands controlled by Seoul.

About 40 military veterans wearing army uniforms beheaded nine pheasants and dripped blood on Japanese flags and on pictures of Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda and former Japanese leaders, witnesses said.

Some battered the birds to death with hammers in the protest outside Tokyo's embassy. They also cut open the bellies of two birds and ate the livers, shouting: "Dokdo (island) is our territory!" After the gory ceremony, they tried to push their way into the embassy and scuffled with riot police.
