Some skateboard riders are beyond belief!!
 

As a follow on from thulfi's suggestion of getting a skateboard because of Islington Council's new 20mph limit (Biking issues) I though that this act of cruelty needed the org's attention.

Cruelty to the skatie, I mean.

Did you ever read anything so ridiculous. Prosecuted for killing a feral pigeon. It's as bad as BillyC's prosecuted for parking on your own land:rolleyes:

What exactly is the problem?

It can't be the fact that a pigeon gave its life.

Maybe the unusual method? I guess the RSPCA is only interested when there's suffering.

meh.

..off to find some foie gras ;)

thing is if the girl had injured the pigeon, and someone took it to the RSPCA, EVEN if the it would be ok with a bit of treatment, i reckon they would kill it themselves.

I am NOT a fan of the RSPCA!!

How was it killed? not clear from the article. Did it get run over (in which case I agree - stupid prosecution) or was the skateboard used to whack it cricket bat style? "hit with a skatboard" suggests it's the latter, which is just plain cruelty and I have no problem with the offender being done for it.
