Since Repukes Are "Pro Life" They Should Put Up With The Pigeon Poop Instead Of Killing Unborn Birds
someone should let the RNC know what st. paul is up to (stealing pigeon eggs and thereby murdering unborn birds) just so the republics can have their little convention



ST. PAUL, Minn. — Pigeon poop has long sullied downtown St. Paul sidewalks, but the slippery, smelly mess is gaining urgency with the Republican National Convention coming to town next year.

Sticky foam, hawk balloons and nets haven't gotten rid of the birds, so officials have a new plan: stealing pigeon eggs.

After pigeons lay their eggs on rooftop nesting grounds, maintenance workers plan to sneak up through trap doors and grab the next generation before it hatches.

"We'll build them little condos. We'll keep taking the eggs, and they won't have little ones," said Bill Stephenson, the city's animal control supervisor. "Slowly they'll die off."

City officials also considered feeding contraceptives to the pigeons but rejected that idea on fears of also inadvertently sterilizing eagles or hawks.

4. Which begs the question....
how do they get the pigeons to only lay their eggs near trap doors?

10. A pigeon-free large city would be disturbing, seriously
It would take me a while to notice, but after that time I would start freaking out, "What the hell is going on? Where the fuck are all the birds?"
