Totally unrelated to cycling, but there you have it.
I'm a ex-military-macho-full of testosterone-dick weed, but I woulda saved the pigeon too. Leaving a critter, no matter what kind it is, to suffer and die, alone, then leaving it to rot like so much garbage is just plain wrong. People on the other hand...
