Rejected petition Prevent Southend Hospital from culling pigeons as a form of 'pest control'

They have have stated this is done for 'health & safety' without providing evidence of preventative measures taken.

In 2015, 790 pigeons were killed by breaking their necks.

Many pigeons are still trapped in metal cages on the roof of the hospital and dying right now, waiting for pest control contractors to come and break their neck.
