Pelican eats pigeon in a London park!
Pelican eats pigeon in St James’s park.
In the photo the pigeon looks a bit unconcerned, but apparently it flapped and struggled as it took twenty minutes to pass down the pelican’s throat. Onlookers were, according to the MSM, “shocked” (yeah, right).

Times article with a more disturbing photo.
The pigeon was still alive as it reached the pelican’s stomach says the Daily Mail rather obviously, which is exactly the reason we eat organic meat from animals that we prefer to see slaughtered.

It looks more scary than a horror film…..look at the pigeon’s eyes,
which are innocent and she or he doesn’t know what’s happening to him in a minute,however it also would be good,if the goverment take some pelicans to Trafalgar Square to reduce the numbers of pigeons.

watari-san: Yes, they should definitely have pelicans in Trafalgar Square to eat the pigeons and to be interesting for the tourists.
