Mao orders to kill sparrow because sparrows eats grain.
China kills sparrows, smash eggs and chicks. Shoots sparrows.
Sparrow also ate insects.
Insects take over, locusts eat grain. Famine.
Mao orders Insecticide! It's very effective!
Insecticide kills all insects... including bees. No fruits!
Famine!
Cannibalism! Parents eats children, Children eat parents!
Of course, export of grain never stopped...
There was a secret import of sparrows, but the ecosystem is fubar.
Up to this day, Chinese pollenize manually (in some parts of that land).
up to 45 million (upper estimate) dead due to Mao's order to kill Jack Sparrow. Thanks Mao!

Mao: ssst, it's intentional. I know how to spell peas. Josef, show him the gulags.
other Josef: Can I have him for one of my experiments?
George: Give him to me! The boys at gitmo need entertainment...
