Re: Fined for Feeding the Birds

Just out of interest John, how much seed were the couple putting down compared to, let's say, the amount regularly spilled from grain trucks?

I understand where you're coming from with this, but I can't agree that this sort of law is not petty, when we have open landfills attracting rats & gulls (aerial rats), poorly collected urban waste, a fly-tipping epidemic & filthy streets in this country I cannot believe that fining people for putting down seed & bread in order to feed the birds really is anything other than petty. And as for a four-day surveillance, well that just strikes me as a way of avoiding some proper work.
