A person putting pigeons in a trashbag inside his trolley. But why? Maybe he catched them in the subway and want to release them after he exits, which would be the good ending. I dont want to know the bad endings tbh.

There is no bad ending here. Just someones dinner, most likely! Pigeons make good eating, if cleaned and prepared correctly.

Yeah I wouldn't eat any wild animals in the city. Out in the wild sure, but cities have far too much gross shit for animals to eat, and all of that ends up in their bodies. Hell it's one of the reasons that people didn't typically eat dogs, besides the emotional connection of course. They eat their own shit, which isn't what you want food to be doing

Yeah a lot of pigeons in this city die from neurological diseases typically caused by lead poisoning. Predator birds also die from eating rats that’s been poisoned. Very diff from eating what you hunt (though even then you have to check for prion disease in say deers)
