They should give that guy a medal and let him continue to net and cage those flying rats as they are nothing but a menace. They are disgusting creatures who do nothing but poop on everything. I only hope there are more people out there capturing and getting rid of those foul things. Good riddance!!!!
I suspect that the same person or people who net the pigeons are also routinely feeding them in the EV. Sometimes in the morning I see someone has been dumping bird seed near intersections, as if from a car window. This would make the pigeons gather in those spots and make them easier to net. As a side effect the pigeon population in the area (and nuisance) skyrockets. As another side effect, rats
