Grotesquely behaved child in town

[Zaytsev]

As usual PETA have taken up the rights of the pigeon and have come up with a list espousing their amazing abilities and superiority over the human filth that infect our planet.

 

• Pigeons have excellent eyesight. They can see in colour and can even see ultraviolet light, which humans cannot. Their eyesight makes them highly valued in human search-and-rescue missions.

 

Call me old fashioned but if I have the misfortune of being lost at sea would you kindly call the Coast Guard as they have a nice big rescue helicopter. Try and resist the temptation to send one of our feathered friends.

 

• Pigeons’ sense of hearing is also extremely acute, with a wider range than that of humans. They can hear sounds in lower frequencies than humans can, including the rumble of distant volcanoes and thunderstorms.

 

Didn't come in handy for the good people of Pompeii did it

 

• Pigeon communication isn’t confined to vocal sounds. Babies make nonvocal sounds such as bill snapping and hissing, and adult males make clapping sounds with their wings after mating.

 

Step aside Stephen Fry, your job presenting the BAFTAS is obviously under threat

 

• Although most birds take water into their beaks and tip their heads back to allow the water to trickle in, pigeons suck up the water as if through a straw.

Whereas 'thick' humans get a glass, turn on the tap, and have a drink.

 

• Pigeons walk, rather than hopping, as many other birds do, and can fly at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour.

 

Passenger Jet / 500 miles an hour x Pigeon / 50 miles an hour flying into engine = 300 screaming victims. Now if the pigeon could fly at 501 miles an hour..........

 

• Experts believe that pigeons are able to detect the Earth’s magnetism, and this helps them to orientate themselves and find their way home.

 

Thick humans on the other hand have had to resort to primitive satellites and computerised navigation systems.....

 

• Pigeons can live for as long as 20 years

 

My gran died at the age of 97..............

I quite like chasing chickens personally

Whether or not you think pigeons are classed as vermin, you cannot just do what you want with them. Would you kick them if your mum was watching?

 

Any one who, as an adult, knowingly acts with violent lack of care to another creature has mental health problems.

 

Besides that, if as an adult you show that sort of behaviour others i.e. children or weak minded people may follow your example. We need to display better behaviour to try to improve the human race.

Jeez, Im glad your not my ma/pa/friend/milkman/postie/local MP/aunt/uncle/cat/dog/and the rest. In fact my mother taught me to shoot them.

Do you think that the council might invest in one of these?

[cat631]

Great idea sheff. Perhaps it could be modified to mince the pigeons up and drop pies out of t'other end.

Ahh its all very well to say slap the kid, but such is this gay land that you;d get done and the kind would get compensation or something :@:@
