to fight pigeons is: they are carriers and can transmit infection to humans.<\/p><p>If you want to use that argument, then you have to change the word &quot;pigeons&quot; to &quot;all birds&quot;, as we are surrounded by millions of birds in the public space, all of which should be potential carriers, and we should therefore be constantly exposed to risk of infection. However, the likelihood of infection is, according to a number of studies, very, very low. If the claim was true, then we should not only concentrate on fighting pigeons, but extend the fight to all birds. It is completely unnecessary. Exotic birds, which people keep in their private homes, and birds bred in industrial agriculture, on the other hand, may carry some risk of transmitting certain diseases to humans.<\/p><h5>The following quotes support <strong>does not<\/strong> the allegation of pigeons and infection:<\/h5><p><strong>Mike Everett, spokesman for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds<\/strong>\u00a0i England\u00a0udtalte i \u2019The Big Issue Magazine\u2019, februar 2001: &#8220;Hele den her &#8216;rotter med vinger&#8217; ting er\u00a0en gang f\u00f8lelsesladet nonsens.
