Ran over a pigeon....need to feel guilt?

trishasaffron

I saw the bird on the road - seemed to be a bit sluggish alright but expected that he/she'd move.....he/she didn't....... .RIP pigeon.

Don't feel too good about it but there are an awful lot of pigeons about.

El Guapo!

Its only a rat with wings....

It was a pigeon, which are flying rats. Maybe you did the world a favour by stopping the spread of disease, feel happy about it.



Good shot though

I see no reason to feel guilty, as its not like you ran it over on purpose.

I killed a daddy long legs yesterday. That'll teach him for joining me in the shower. Hate the fukers.

No need to worry. They're dirty feckers, and always specifically target me in the middle of busy streets, flying straight at my face then veering away at the last second to make me flinch/jump/cower and look foolish.

This recipe is dead easy. All you need is some minced pigeon, minced beef and chopped onions. Mix the ingredients together and then weigh out about a quarter as much of some stale, brown bread and soak it in cold water. When it is thoroughly soaked, wring it out, and mix it in with the meat. If it is not tacky enough, add a spoonful of lard. Shape the mixture into burgers. Cook them in an iron frying pan or on a barbecue grill.

Ah - I know how you might be feeling OP. I was on my way home the other day and saw a hurt rat on the street. Now, I'm not a particular fan of rats, but I would never want to see anything injured. I didn't know what to do - and it's not like there's anybody to call. I stood there for ages trying to think of something I could do. The poor thing was trying to move and I should have gone over and tried to move him off the road but I was afraid he would bite me. I was about to go into a shop and get a box that I could put him in, and then a taxi came along and ran him over. I feel sick to this day, and I still think I could have moved him somehow. What makes it worse is that some other people saw this injured and helpless little guy on the road and they cheered when he got run over. It really makes you wonder about people's mindsets.

You didn't do it on purpose, but I think it says a lot for you that you care. For your pigeon, and for my rat, it may have been the best thing that they died quickly. If they were injured, they probably wouldn't have lived long, and may have died in a much worse way.

It's still sad though. But these things happen all the time and it's probably best not to dwell on them. I don't see the point in making a joke about this kind of thing though. Be it rat, pigeon, dog or cat. The creature was in pain and then died and I don't see how that is funny.

Did the pigeon die just after, or what? it's a bit unclear.

As much of an animal lover as I am, animals die all the time, it's nature, and as long as they don't die needlessly or out of sport / cruelty I don't have much of a problem with it. You didn't do it on purpose so no I wouldn't say you should feel too bad.

funny how no one, even all those with their pigeons are so dirty comments, has called you anything for having eaten some. (and yes I am aware that it was quite likely to have been wood pigeon, not feral pigeon)


I find it funny that everyone calls them flying rats. I mean do any of ye actually know anything about them? like supposedly what diseases they carry? I can guarantee if you had to live on scraps people threw you, with no shelter and nowhere to bathe you'd be pretty stink too. They are animals, they haven't done anything to harm anyone purposefully, unlike a lot of humans, so I think it'd be good if some of you tried challenging your assumptions every now and then.

Pigeons are pests in urban and rural areas - they have few redeeming features. They outcompete other bird species for food and space, their droppings cost a small fortune to clean up for city councils and they're vectors for up to 40 different zoonoses.

It'd probably be more ideal if the pigeon had been killed a little more humanely but good riddance tbh.

But... it's not as if a pigeon is born and thinks to itself, how can I make life messier for people and hungrier for other birds. You have to look at a living creature as a living creature and not differentiate because some are cuter than others and some eat the bugs in your garden and some don't.

Pigeons (for example) may be (and are) a pest (depending on person to person). But, some people think that because something is classified as a pest, they are fair game. Most of these people will never have pigeon problems! I really don't understand people who think it's funny when a rat or a pigeon gets hurt. What happened to empathy and when it is ever amusing when something dies??

I'd be interested to know what rural areas you've seen feral pigeons causing problems.

And what do city councils do to wash away pigeon droppings? Do they only wash away pigeon droppings,what about magpies and rooks?

Where does it stop? I've a neighbour that has asked permission to cut down trees on my sisters land because crows have nested there,and they're ****ting on his car.is that acceptable?

Just because something is 'alive' it doesn't exonerate it from being troublesome.

And empathy for rats? Seriously?

Plenty of rural areas are increasingly having problems as feral pigeon populations explode and move unchecked out of urban areas. Pigeon detritus causes human health problems and issues with local native wildlife.

Magpies and rooks don't next in urban dwellings like pigeons do - pigeon poop is a problem, other birds' droppings not so much.

And what's wrong with cutting down a tree to stop crows nesting? They'll still be alive and well to set up a cosy little home somewhere else. This is about killing pigeons, nothing to do with crows.

I'd shoot the baxstards myself.

Ok well if you're going to go that route then why should humans be allowed live? you think we're not troublesome for the world? for every other species on the plant? you think our shit doesn't interfere with anything?

What makes it so unbelievable that that other user (and plenty more animals lovers) would have empathy for a rat as compared to a dog or cat? What makes a dog more worthy of life?

and you still haven't explained where ferals are meant to be taking over rural areas. I'm not saying it's not possible, but considering they're city birds, it wouldn't make much sense. if they were going to change habitat it'd be back to cliffs if anything, surely. but if you've something that says otherwise, i'd be quite interested in reading it.

And since when do magpies and rooks not nest in cities like pigeons? if they live in the city, where do you think they nest? starlings, martens, herring gulls, mallards they all shit all over the place.

I also asked for an explanation on the city councils cleaning droppings, if you have an answer to that.

you've said pigeon poop is a problem, other birds not so much. why is that?

what i see wrong with cutting down trees is, crows build nests there when they've eggs. well that's the most easily explained problem. my issue with him doing that is so frickin what if they **** on your car every so often, they're a living breathing thing, it's not a reason to kill them.

I know. That's my point. Only backwards. Just because something is troublesome doesn't change the fact that it's alive.

Yes. Seriously. Like I said, I came in contact with a rat that was in pain recently. I felt for what it was going through. Now, it's far less than what a person would be going through as it's not a though the rat is thinking what his accident may mean for him in the future. But, he was still hurting and I felt for him. So, empathy for rats. Yes.

I think you should feel guilty. In fact you should feel so guilty that you should track down the remaining members of that pidgeon's family, break the news of your misdeeds to them and vow to spend the rest of your time on this planet making it up to them by refurbishing their home, saving money for the kids to go to college, buying them yachts, cars, houses and villas, sending them on tropical holidays and sexually satisfying his wife every night.

It's only right.
