Does anybody else think that killing off birds because of “bird flu” is going to be the next supposedly environmentally friendly thing to happen?

There are already much less pigeons in this city than there were. No one is supposed to like pigeons or care what happens to them because they crap on public buildings. The fact that we only have so many pigeons in the cities because we needed them to carry messages doesn’t seem to make any difference. They are supposed to be disease-ridden and, therefore, the enemy.

Now everyone is getting terrified of bird flu, what odds would you give for the survival of  bird species? Agencies that are supposed to protect the environment will have reasons that seem good to them to “cull” – kill off – even more of the few wild creatures that still share our environment.  What an incredibly dumb species we are.
