Pigeons might not be as disease ridden as some people think.

In case of sudden lack of food stocks... we can always hunt some pigeons.... not as fatty as your standard chicken, but it should work well...
Speaking of which, time to purchase a decent slingshot! (March 5, 2014 at 10:39 am)Napoléon Wrote:No... They've just shat on me and my friends and family a few too many times. And my belongings, too. I can't even dry my laundry outside because if I do pigeons will crap on it all, so I have to dry it all inside and now I have fucking damp as a result. Kill them all. Dirty cunts. Why are they even allowed to exist? We must have the technology to release a virus that kills only pigeons and wipe them out in a matter of weeks.(March 5, 2014 at 9:30 am)NoraBrimstone Wrote: Who gives a shit?

This and the 'Meat Question' in America is why there are no more carrier pigeons... I'm in TN right now and literally looking out my window at some pigeons eating at my neighbor's birdfeeder, pooping on my patio. Brb.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

All our pigeons here in the states went extinct, and not that long ago.
Anyone else catch the article "The Mammoth Cometh" in last Sunday's magazine section? http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/02/magazi...ometh.html It describes the very real steps being taken right now to revive extinct species. It is all quite controversial but guess which animal is up first for revival? Yep, our very own passenger pigeon. They were bigger than the rock pigeon we all love to hate now. If we get them back in any sizable numbers perhaps they'll keep down the rock pigeon numbers. Try this out for a comparison in numbers between the two pigeon species: "In 1860, a naturalist observed a single flock that he estimated to contain 3,717,120,000 pigeons. By comparison, there are currently 260 million rock pigeons in existence. A single passenger-pigeon nesting ground once occupied an area as large as 850 square miles, or 37 Manhattans." So would these reintroduced birds be a blessing or a curse?
