I'm not 100% sure, but I have a sneaking suspicion that this cartoon is about the disaster in Japan. So foreigners are like animals, I guess? Or maybe "bird strikes" from alternative energy used to be much more common, proving that all energy sources are equally deadly?
In any case, it's clear that Asay is saying to the media of the world: whatever it is you're covering right now (Libya, Japan, other pro-democracy protest in the Middle East) is about as important as a dead bird is to a kid.
