It was meant to be a joke. Maybe not the best one, but a joke none the less.

Also, pigeons are tough. I rescued one that had come to considerable grief--car or cat or hawk--and had lost half his head (eye too). He recovered, but not completely, and lived with me for 15 years until I moved and handed him over to a pigeon specialist. He couldn't be put with a flock or they would peck him. He was minus one eye and half his brain, and could only fly in circles. One might reflect that half the brain, in a pigeon, is not a vital organ.

Sadly, the pigeons are better behaved and more intelligent than the MAGAt creepshows who tortured them.

On the other hand, Trump supporters choosing pigeons as their representative animal is remarkably accurate.

Gullible dumbasses who strut around and shit everywhere, unaware that someone intends to make them tomorrow's meal.

I watched a few minutes of the feed on Youube covering trump's latest rally. It was hilarious. These rallies and the coverage of them is one long commercial for commemorative coins, dick pills, quack medicines, end-time supplies and other swill for the gullible. I expected them to introduce the Nigerian prince, who is a huge supporter of trump and is willing to financially support trump if you just send him a matching dollar amount. I think the origin of trump's supporters was as a call and mailing list of suckers. They have the look of a rancid swap-meet in hell.

I have, too. But I weigh a lot more than a pigeon, so the concentration of dangerous chemicals was nowhere near as high.

Well, at least they are honest about who they work for, it;s in their name.

Fun fact: anyone can capture, kill, and eat pigeons in Cali, no license, no limit*

*Nets and snares, no guns in city

Lots of states/localities have laws against mistreating wildlife, though.

Poisoning Pigeons in the Park was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the headline for this piece. Fuck these assholes!
