Pigeons are vermin and are regularly culled by pest control officers.
So no idea where you get the idea culling pigeons is illegal which I very much doubt.
They carry as much disease as rats do and should be exterminated.
As for how and who does the culling I’m not sure if there are laws on that.
But less than dogs & cats…& humans!!! Kill 'em all
I have a cat, had her for nine yrs so far,anyone ever hurt her they would need hospital treatment and I would accept the consequences of my actions,love my little mog,lol
What I was getting at really is all this ‘flying rat’ or ‘disease ridden’ BS is simply that…BS!

we are supposed to be the superior race yet why do humans feel the need to kill defenceless animals,it’s beyond me,especially as some human scum get pleasure from it
In this case, I would imagine it is because Cargill’s is a food manufacturer, and vermin such as pigeons, and their faeces, are incompatible with food production. In a similar vein I regularly kill rats on my mooring. I don’t obtain pleasure from it, but rats can cause enormous damage to boats should they find their way into one, and their urine can and does cause Weil’s disease, this is what killed Olympic rower Andy Holmes.

I was loading at the flour mill in selby recently and was watching the “pest controller” in action scaring away the pigeons with his bird of prey
They use the same method at JLR when the birds keep ■■■■■■■■ on the production cars, quite a spectacle watching a bird of prey working the way they do.
My uncle kept racing pigeons and when a wild one shacked up he would despatch them. He taught me how to “neck” a pigeon, two fingers around it’s next twist and pull hard, then throw it up in the air and it flew just far enough to clear his garden wall and land in the canal.
the 70s where great as a kid
funnily enough my uncle lived virtually opposite cargil on miller’s Bridge, houses are still there
