Animal rights Campaigners to sue Ken Livingstone
Save The Trafalgar Square Pigeons | 05.01.2007 09:48 | Animal Liberation | London
The Mayor is trying to starve the Square’s pigeons. Hawks are being deployed to terrify and kill them and new legislation is being planned to ban our feeding programme. The birds urgently need your help. Here we explain what you can do and introduce our “action alert” scheme.
Campaigners issued legal proceedings against the Mayor in an attempt to force him to allow the feeding of the 1800 birds. The Save The Trafalgar Square Pigeons action group fed the birds daily at 7.30am, with Mr Livingstone's agreement, since 2002. Under the programme, which was designed to ensure a humane reduction in pigeon numbers, the amount of food was abruptly stopped in June.
Ann Mann, the group's spokesperson, said campaigners had been reassured that the feeding programme would be reduced without starving the birds. "It's unacceptable that the birds should starve to death," she said.
