This isn't anywhere like an onion article but it's sad nonetheless
I'm not a fan of pigeons. But someone going out of their way to do something this sadistic to a living thing is all kinds of serial-killer-predictor type fucked up.
Did you know they are a type of dove? And they only exist in cities because humans brought them there.
I'd happily beat someone to death over something like this
You wanna see animal abuse?
I'll fucking show you abuse.
Glue them to the wall first
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'd see red if I witnessed something like that.
Are you vegan?
How is gluing an animal to something not animal abuse? That's like suspecting a wall is solid after walking into it.
It is conceivable that the glue was put there for another purpose, and the pigeons simply landed in it. That’s just not likely in this case
Why would anyone put glue on something and not glue anything on top?
It could also be a trap. Put glue and some food on it and see pigeons get trapped to death. That's how a lot of rat traps work.
Well, see it in the context of the entire animal industry. If what happens in slaughterhouses isn't animal abuse for someone, why would this be?
Someone found a place that wasn't constantly monitored by CCTV, crazy.
Yeah, they really buried the lede
What brand of pigeon glue do y'all use?
Only the strongest fast bonding epoxy will do when I need them to carry coconuts across the sea
Those are swallows, you absolute nonce
I thought they could grip it by the husk.
To fasten a ducks i just use the tape; I dunno if it's rated for pigeons though.
I do know how to glue gorillas, if you need advice on that?
How do you apply your gorilla glue?
Very carefully.
Prep is everything, clean the gorilla thoroughly first - do not skip this step.
Apply a thin layer to both surfaces.
The trickiest part is holding the gorilla still for a full 3 minutes for the initial bond to form.
But once that's done you're golden., it should hold until full strength is achieved after 24 hours (in normal jungle conditions).
Hugtight
We suspect animal abuse, but we can't be certain
"Suspect"? How could it possibly not be?
There's a remote possibility that the glue might have been on the wall or the pigeons for some unrelated reason and they got glued to the wall all by themselves when they landed on it, I suppose.
