Ozawa has reportedly admitted that the charge is true. He told the officials that roads belong to humans and pigeons are the ones who should get out of the way.

Statements like this makes me wonder if hurting animals is so obviously evil or I'm just a hippie.

Nah, the people who'd call you a hippie for that probably have some issues they should sort out.

In a bit of irony, the stool pigeon that informed police was, in fact, Ozawa himself. Police did not expect him to sing like a canary as he confessed to the charges. Ozawa stated the pigeons were sitting ducks as he accelerated towards them. He considers pigeons ugly ducklings and his life's goal is to make as many of them dead as a dodo. Police are keeping a close eye on Ozawa as they found him naked as a jaybird when they arrested him. There are concerns he may try to fly the coop and send police on a wild goose chase.

You're having a bit of a lark, aren't you?

He'd get a medal here. We have offical signs with “pigeons are flying rats” here.

In my region some driving instructors actually give students 5€ for each killed pigeon.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He'll get off. That pigeon was asking for it.

Smh, not wearing reflective clothing or a helmet. Surprised it wasn’t ran over sooner.

This is one of the reasons why IPoAC didn't take off.

The spec should be able to handle a little packet loss.

He'll soon face the wrath of the Pigeon Protector.
