Pigeons

Went googling. Support you local pigeon!
Do Pigeons Spread Disease? In a word 'no'! All wild birds have the potential
to pass on diseases to other birds and to human beings but the chances of
this happening are a million to one, certainly in the case of human beings.
Pigeons are no more likely to transmit diseases to human beings than any other
species of wild bird. Why then do we read horror stories in the media every day
about the 60 or 70 fatal diseases that pigeons are capable of transmitting to
human beings? Because the pest control industry and those that have a vested
commercial interest in controlling pigeons have a very efficient propaganda
machine constantly churning out scare stories designed to sell their products.
Pest control is a multi-billion dollar industry worldwide and culling pigeons
and selling proofing products represents a large proportion of the profits
within this industry. Because scientific research has proved that culling
pigeons is a completely ineffective method of control the pest control industry has
to scare the public into believing that they need to be concerned about
pigeons. The best way to do that is to link pigeons with diseases.

or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only
unpatriotic and servile,
but is morally treasonable to the American public."
