Pigeons and rats both keep themselves pretty clean, as wild animals go. Go pick on pigs or foxes or something.

Rotate the sucker at 300 RPM or there abouts and you've got a hell of an anti bird system

It's because Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice, making old-fashioned animal cruelty obsolete.

IIRC it was the Romans who stopped it, by leveling the temple and most of Jerusalem as well.

I'd like to point out that pigs are much cleaner than people think. They roll around in mud only to cool down. If given the choice, they prefer fresh water.

This pro-pig post now ends.

This isn't exactly a new solution to pigeons (though the first time I've seen it used on a church cross). I've seen several building in my time that have their windowsills lined with spikes for precisely the same reason.

Why would God create such a creature?
