Fairly run-of-the-mill local news story about a pigeon cull. However, it has attracted some bizarre comments, worth a read through, there are some real gems there.

Read about the pigeons

"Surely we are losing sight of the real issue at hand here? Pigeons are dirty, I hear you say. But where is the proof of this? Have you never spotted them at night, wearing their lacy aprons, brooms and dusters in hand, cleaning up the gardens? They perform a vital civic duty, and this cull will see the gardens go to rack and ruin. Harrumph!"

"Got to be said - killing us pigeons is wrong. End of. Remember that stuff that went down about kids in hoodies hanging out in shopping centres? They never got culled. Yet pigeons, who aren't into mugging old ladies or nicking electrical goods - not ever - we get it in the neck everytime! It's not on.
Your pal
