Have you ever thought about the life of a pigeon?They are one of the most common birds in our city, but we have very different opinions about them. Some people think pigeons are cute, some people think pigeons are annoying, and even some people think pigeons are dangerous. Recently, there was a shocking incident in Japan where a taxi driver deliberately rammed his car into a flock of pigeons, causing the death of one pigeon and was arrested. Why is that?Let's take a look at the background and details of this story.
Pigeons are very adaptable to urban environments, they can find food and habitat in a variety of places, and they are also smart enough to recognize faces and patterns. Pigeons also have a special ability to navigate the ground magnetic field and find their home. As a result, pigeons have historically been used as messengers to deliver important messages. Pigeons are also a symbol of peace because they do not attack other animals or humans.
However, not everyone is fond of pigeons. Some people think that pigeons are dirty because they can excrete their feces on buildings, causing pollution and damage. Some people believe that pigeons are the source of the disease because they can carry parasites or bacteria that can be transmitted to humans or other animals. Some people think that pigeons are annoying because they congregate in public places and quack, affecting people's leisure and work.
So, why did this taxi driver deliberately hit a pigeon?According to the ** investigation, he said he "hates pigeons" because they are "always flying around the road" and make him "upset". He also said that he "wants to eliminate them" because they are "useless". These words made people very angry and sad to hear, because he had no respect for life at all, and he also violated the law. According to Japan's Wildlife Protection**, any intentional injury or killing of a wild animal is a crime punishable by a fine or imprisonment. Moreover, the taxi driver also endangers the safety of other passers-by and vehicles, and his behavior is very irresponsible and unethical.
What should we do with pigeons?I think we should respect their value as a living being, rather than judging them by our own preferences. We should understand the difficulties and challenges of their survival in the city, rather than ignoring or excluding them. We should protect them from harm and abuse, not cruelty or violence. We should live in harmony with them, not against them or in conflict. After all, pigeons are also part of our planet and have the right to freedom and happiness.
