I saw someone re-post that sign the other day .. the interesting thing I took from that article:

The drive to stop feeding water fowl bread came from a "Ban the Bread" campaign started by, you guessed it, a bird seed company  ::)

See, I knew I was right to be sceptical of any campaign that includes the word "Ban"..

Click on the link in the report and you find a graphic picture of a dead swan, and the report that many birds have died of malnutrition in the UK in the last year - possibly as a result of people not feeding birds as a result of the 'no bread!' campaign.

People do like to say that the younger generation/scum are the downfall of society and they're all useless and care nothing for the world - which to a point is right - but then theyre brought up to stay indoors 'away from the paedos', NOT feed ducks in the park, sprayed with detol every day then spend their life being sickly as a result.. people are surprised?

I was in Ely last week walking by the river and stopped to eat my Aldi salad sandwich. Took out all the rabbit food out and tried to feed it to a swan. Totally uninterested in the healthy option but scoffed the crusts down as quick as you like. ;D
