Pigeons annoying or..
Hm...I've heard that they want to control the populations of these birds...
What do you think?
Reasons for control I've heard:
1. They create 20lbs of waste a year each
2. They ruin buildings with their waste which takes money to clean
They want people to stop feeding them or they would like to feed them birth control
opponents to this stated on news:
1. PETA => birth control would lower the population close to nil in a few years
2. It would be cruel to not feed them
I say that not feeding them wouldn't go and lower the population b/c they would still breed however at a slightly slower rate. The less food they can find would probably make them skinnier at the least.
I personally don't have a problem with them and frankly I have never observed people actually cleaning the waste of these birds off public buildings. This makes me think that people have a personal hate of birds.
I'm starting to think they'll want to hunt them next like they do bears when the population gets out of control. I definitely do not approve of that of course especially since they wait till the bears are hibernating to go and shoot them. (highly unfair to the bears)
