Leave them alone. It seems they know how to take care of themselves. Obviously they are not panhandling.

It is a shame to jail or fine a person who is trying not to go hungry.

Maybe they used the term murder because you can get more jail time in New York for killing a pigeon than for killing a human.

One goof said this:

Seems to me that muggers, rapists, gang-bangers, murderers, etc. would be much more threatening.   ::)

I have always wondered why they have a pigeon and starling problem in big cities with all the poor and homeless people that are supposedly in the cities . I don't think as much poaching goes on as the media would have us believe. ear

I guess it would be better if these people starved or perhaps resulted to mugging people to feed themselves instead?

Off to the gallows with those filthy peasants how dare they hunt the Kings game.
It truly is an embarrassment to country that people are treated like criminals for trying to feed themselves.
