Paris – Paris Has Its Own Idea To Control Pigeon Population

    5

    Paris – Here is an idea for Simcha Felders pigeon issues. Paris is installing pigeon lofts throughout the city in its latest attempt to control the population of the birds that leave their droppings on the French capital’s monuments.

    City authorities aim to encourage pigeons to nest in these lofts and then sterilize their eggs while the birds are out feeding.

    Paris’s efforts mirror similar attempts being made in cities across the globe. Venice, New York and London have instituted bans on feeding pigeons in areas where they congregate.

    In New York, City Councilman Simcha Felder on Nov. 12 proposed a $1,000 fine for feeding the winged creatures. [bloomberg]

    Simka Felder is not attcking the pigeon population. This is about feeding animals in places where we sit and walk by. How would you like to have bird poop all over your front stoop and have your kids bring the poop in your living room through their walking shoes?

    Simcha cares about the health of our children and you don’t.

    Ask doctors their opinion on what Simcha is trying to accomplish and they wold all agree that he is doing the RIGHT thing.

    And if anyone thinks they can do a better job, instead of opening your big mouth run against Simcha in the next election.

    (you won’t win!)

    Maybe the city can take a cue from China and put the OU in charge of the pigeon problem.

    Isn’t this a form of bird abortion? Wait till PETA gets a whif of this.

    What a shame.
    A yid should be involved in this.
    The fact that Paris does it proves that we should NOT be advocating this.
    Lechovod Shabbat Shirah, Mr. Felder, please drop this entire idea. (Yes, I read your rubuttals.)
    It sais in Midrash, that in the Yam Suf, Hashem made food available for the children who fed the birds and the birds sang shirah with the yidden.
    Mr. Felder, do not underestimate the gravity of this gezeira. By coming forward and publicly dropping the idea you will be perceived as a mentch who has the courage to do what is right.
    Do not dare control their population. You are playing with Hahsem’s business.
    There are numerous places in Torah where pigeons are looked upon favorably and here is not the place to list them all (Noah, Song of songs, and more.)
    By being brave, you will likely get many heimishe votes back, because you will prove that you do have a good heart after all. (Serving at Masbia does not prove that, by the way.)
    There are many more things to say but is not appropiate for an open blog. I did send you a (unanswered) detail email, when the gezeira broke.
    A gutten Shabbos and in the merit of the midat hachesed (extended even to to pigeons), we shall be zoche to kol tuv.
