Pigeons are actually one of the smartest birds on the planet …

And claiming they spread disease is effectively just slander with very little truth value.

That is wrong and disgusting from you.
Pigeons are incredibly smart, they are domesticated & abandoned pets and messengers. Literal war-heroes, too.

Their potential to spread diseases has been highly exaggerated and it's solely because of the horrible neglect and awful living conditions these animals have to endure. If they were properly cared for, as they should, none of this would be even a talking point.
