Live pigeons covered in poison used to kill Irish buzzards

how inhumane...what kind of mind plans this...this is evil.. no bird, animal, or creature deserves this. how can people do this ?...makes you wonder what else this individual is capable of doing...chilling!!

What's wrong with vultures? they are natures sanitation engineers and only live on carrion. BTW: I think the bird pictured is a falcon, which only kills it's prey and is not a carrion eater.

The picture shown w/ this article depicts neither pigeons nor buzzards. Another IC lack of proper investigation.

Sick!

Gotta be a better way to blow away the buzzards. How about a cupla marksmen?? We used to call them 'dingers'.

God save us from "Do Gooders". They introduced the buzzards, and now they are trying to kill them off. It happens in America. In West Virginia, they introduced Coyotes, which are a western USA wild dog like a smaller version of a wolf. Coyotes were never east of the Missippi. Now Coyotes are in New York city.

I agree with you pugsmom. How inhumane!! Whoever arranged this should be shot.

For people in North American buzzards are hawks, buteo hawks to be specific. Not sure which buzzard species this article is referring to. There are very few birds of prey in Ireland and it is shame to see some idiot trying to kill buzzards that are being reintroduced. Most people in the USA refer to vultures as "buzzards", which they are not as buzzards are buteo hawks. Hawk migration has started in North America. I do input for a hawk migration watch site in northwest Connecticut, USA for the Hawk Migration Association of North America, hawkwatch.org.

Just when I think the "human" species can't stoop any lower than the gutters it already inhabits..........
