PLEASE HELP THE TRAFALGAR SQUARE PIGEONS]
FOR URGENT RELEASE 26/11/06
URGENT * URGENT * URGENT * URGENT * URGENT * URGENT
WORLD FAMOUS TRAFALGAR SQUARE PIGEONS UNDER THREAT
OPPOSE WESTMINSTER CITY COUNCIL'S PROPOSED NEW BYE-LAW
PLEASE HELP THE PIGEONS - FIGHT THE PROPOSED BYE-LAW
The pigeons of Trafalgar Square are semi-domesticated birds, they have been fed for generations. KEN LIVINGSTONE and the London Assembly decided to rid the Square of pigeons for commercial gain. Unlike famous public Squares the world over, these pigeons are not allowed to be a tourist attraction, instead, the appearance of cafe's has meant the pigeons are
labelled a public health and safety risk, when in fact they are no such threat. Instead the public are banned from feeding in the Square and are often treated to the sight of pigeons being ripped apart by a BIRD-OF-PREY. All this at the taxpayers expense of whom are shelling out
about £90 per pigeon to indulge Ken's hatred of these innocent birds.
WESTMINSTER CITY COUNCIL are planning to extend this ban to the North Terrace, (outside the National Gallery) where the birds are fed (legally at present) on a daily basis.
PLEASE SUPPORT THESE HARMLESS AND AMAZING CREATURES.
Pigeons can navigate over hundreds of miles.
Both sexes feed their babies with their own milk.
They are highly intelligent and adaptable and were awarded the Victoria Cross for their bravery, saving human lives during the World Wars. How do we repay them? We starve them!
Bird specialists have said this flock can only be humanely reduced over a very long period, otherwise they will starve to death.
The Trafalgar Square Pigeons are dependent on a regular daily limited supply of grain, many birds will perish if this food source is forced to be withdrawn!
There has been a few FAILED attempts to get a bye-law in the past, if, this time the council is successful it would mean the general public, including tourists would be made criminals, just for feeding birds!! What an absolute outrage as over many decades it has been acceptable and
permitted by the authorities, but at this present time KEN LIVINGSTONE (the new broom) has made the decision to try and get rid of them.
People have ONE MONTH to oppose the proposed council BYE-LAW before their future is decided, please write now before it's too late.
