If the murder thing is real and he lost his wife and rage so hard to commit a brutal act like that, he’s certainly found a way to live in a positive manner that suits him. I’d imagine there would be alot of anger and sadness you could spiral into which could ruin your life even after doing your time.

Sounds like he's embellishing at the least. It's practically impossible to "chop" a human head off even with a Ka-Bar or machete, let alone a "steak knife" .. typically takes a lot of hacking and sawing back & forth with strong pressure for awhile. Any experienced homicide detective or combat veteran would concur....it's not an instant chop or slice, like in movies.

[@hunterst.hunter9222]

Remember: Pigeons are FERAL, not wild. They're one of the oldest domesticated animals on this planet and feeding them proper food (seed, not bread) is no different than feeding stray cats or dogs.

[@Squig96]

And everything you mentioned shouldnt be done as it just increases the population of those stray animals and leads to more suffering for them.

[@commanderpinkie7617]

Feed strays, only if you will commit to getting them spayed/neutered. That’s the only way to truly help them. Rerelease. Or accept them as your own. I accepted the ones that forced me to. No regrets. They taught me a lot lol

[@meladversity]

not true. there are many kinds of pigeons that are just wild birds avoiding humans all together.

[@echofoxtrot2.051]

There are wild pigeons (coastlines) and feral pigeons (urban pigeons). And no, I did not make that up.

​@@meladversity Please educate yourself. Those in the video are obviously domesticated pigeons. You can easily tell from the color variations. Noone denied that there are more species, but those are not wild pigeons. Source: Biologist

[@beenie1111]

I actually respect this guy, he's not hurting anyone. He's caring for pigeons. From a Islamic perspective, pigeons are very esteemed among the bird family. The thing is you have serial killers, and one of their markers in their early years, is cruelty to animals etc. This guy actually respects and cares for animals. So in my book, this could be his ticket to paradise. There is a religious saying where the Prophet peace upon him said, a prostitute was forgiven for giving a thirsty dog water from a well, using her shoe. And a devout woman was forsaken to hell for being unkind to cat.

[@beenie1111]

@@thoughtstorn854 I also think rats are great. The worst thing these pigeons can do is transfer a few bird mites onto me, but they can't survive on humans, and it's never happened anyway. Pigeons are a historically domesticated bird, bred for beautiful plumage, good nature, and skillful navigation. In a way, we humans made them. That considered, I think its very callous to apply meaningless prejudice to any animal, especially one we are responsible for creating.

[@danavipuzzles7308]

I've always loved pigeons since I was a little kid. My mother would sometimes find either baby pigeons or wounded pigeons around the area and bring them home for a few weeks. We'd take care of them, they'd get better, and then we'd set them free. Some didn't make it and we'd bury them. Honestly, pigeons are probably my favorite bird. They are gentle and loving, and of all the birds they are among the few that I feel can develop a strong bond with a person. The only thing that I'd be concerned about is eating or touching my face without first having washed my hands after contact with them, but aside from that, I love what this guy is doing and hope that there are many more like him. And I can't stand people who hate pigeons. I think how a person feels about pigeons and especially how they behave towards pigeons says a lot about their character, for better or for worse.
