Local councillors are taking it upon themselves to cull feral pigeons in the presences of police officers even though it is against the law to use firearms within 50 metres of a main road and 200 metres from a habitable area.

In the meantime, where were the personnel imported by BirdLife and where was the lady who is supposed to defend animal life?

Or are feral pigeons not on her list of animals?

The culling of pigeons was done by shooting them at point blank range with airguns no matter where the creatures were hit, whether in the head or left suffering a slow death.

The point of this letter of protest is to enlighten people/readers to see the law-breaking attitude of the local councils.

Pigeons all over the world are a tourist attraction as is the case in Spain, Venice, Rome and so many other countries.
