There must be a humane method

11:26am Monday 30th April 2012 in Your Letters

I AM writing in response to the letter ‘Do something about this suffering’ regarding pigeons being deliberately trapped in wire at Sale tram station.

I am appalled that Metrolink and Trafford Council are ‘not very interested’ when the lady complained.

It’s a disgrace that trapping birds in this callous manner is acceptable to them.

We realise they are pests but they should not have to suffer in that way, and surely there must be a more humane way to get rid of these birds rather than them suffering a long and painful death?

I am thankful I didn’t see the distressed trapped bird or the four dead birds hanging on the wire, or I would have been crying.
