Signs put up by Brent Council threaten residents with a prison sentence of up to five years or an unlimited fine if they are caught feeding birds.
They live hard lives, constantly die horrible slow deaths, get maimed all the time by our trash (stringfoot) or other traps & vehicles, and have surprising emotional intelligence (intra-family, intra-group, and even to humans that don’t even feed them).
To some extend they “at least” have predators to keep the population somewhat healthy.
Also ppl feeding pigeons directly isn’t the reason they live/survive in cities, so feeding them are only very localised issues (the immediate feeding area).
Also2, UK isn’t even pretending to embraced individual freedom, lol, 5 years, that like more than megacorp crimes.
that like more than megacorp crimes
Sure, but laws were never meant to protect you from megacorps, they were meant to protect the elite and their property (the cities are property of the elite) from you.
I mean fuck pigeons, but this is just a typical UK overreaction. Oiii yous got a loicense foar dat feedin?
@unexposedhazard @okwithmydecay I think it’s rather sweet of them.
When compared with any other retirement housing, the promise of five years’ worth of accommodation, food and heating, all for the price of a slice of stale bread, looks generous to the point of charity. In the past, you had to rob a bank to get that, but now all the branches have closed I think it’s good that councils are providing alternative routes.
Oi! You got a loicense for that sarcasm and comedy mate?
