City pigeon project distances itself from murderer calls for protests

in Limburg caused a controversial decision by city councilors for great excitement and passionate protests among the population. In mid -November 2023, it was decided to have city pigeons killed. This project was supported by the parliamentary groups CDU, SPD and FDP, which was incomprehensible to many citizens. The outraged citizens promptly organized a demonstration in which the city councils were insulted with megafons as "murderers", which visibly shaken the politically responsible.

In a recent step, the city pigeon project distanced itself from these drastic protests. In a letter to the city of Limburg, the pigeon friends regretted regret about the incidents on the occasion of the protests. They apologized "sincerely with the city council, with the magistrate and all other people affected" and emphasized that the behavior of the demonstrators did not correspond to the style of the city pigeon project. This apology is an important step to keep the reputation of the project and its views on the respectful approach to each other.

understanding of values and behavioral guidelines

In order to avoid future incidents, the city pigeon project has developed a written understanding of values. This document is posted at events and is intended to clearly communicate the principles of the project. Those who violate these guidelines will be excluded from future events. This shows how seriously those responsible take the incidents and that they want to actively control the way of dialogue on the sensitive topic of the city pigeons.

The decision to kill the city pigeons was heavily criticized by many sides. Animal rights activists and concerned citizens argue that there would be human alternatives to deal with the situation that could respect the wildlife and at the same time take into account urban issues. The city pigeon project would like to make a contribution to a respectful, factual dialogue through its distancing and clear behavioral guidelines. In view of the heated debate, many participants feel the pressure to find a solution that satisfies both the interests of the city administration and that of the animal rights activists. This challenge will not only affect local politics, but also the social climate in Limburg.

The situation is still tense, and many look closely at how the city and the city pigeon project deal with the conflicts and the many different opinions. A solution has not yet been in sight and the discussions will be continued to enable a respectful and constructive dialogue.
