Watch a Ton of Pigeons Being Trapped By a Catapulted Net [Traps]

Ahhhh! Whenever you get freaked out by pigeons, wait until you notice an entire writhing mass of the winged rats trapped inside a catapult-sprung net. Truly terrifying. And apparently the technique to Spain’s big pigeon problem.

Pigeons had been deemed a ” plague” in Barcelona, spreading disease and pooping all over Gaudi’s beautiful buildings. To curb the destruction, the city is trying to catch 65,000 of the birds, roughly 25% of the pigeon population, over the next year and a half. While some birds are being trapped in traditional cages and relocated outside of the city, others are subject to private pigeon trappers’ kooky catapulted nets.

Cruel? Maybe! But a deadly disease’s a virus, I assume? And anyway in the event you don’t think that resulting video is the craziest thing you’ve seen today, you might be just totally in-coo-rrect. [Wired]
