Seen wonderful karma at work today

In London at the moment. Went to the Tower of London today, sat outside and as usual loads of pigeons.

2 lots of parents sat there laughing and filming their little darlings chase and kick out at the pigeons. One of the boys made contact with one. Just as I was about to open my month to have a go at the parents another pigeon flew over the dad’s head and did the most perfectly aimed shit that landed right on his bald head.

dad then stands up shouting dirty bastards and then realised quite a few people were laughing including myself and my lot. I was creased up. He and his family very quickly leave. The most funny thing was it was down to his own that the pigeons were flying all over in panic

Beautful Karma. Can anyone beat this with their own experience of Karma at work

You’ll get loads of people posting that letting children chase pigeons is harmless fun but I agree with you op.

Also the osprey nest on ethswaite water having to be monitored 24/7 due to people trying to steal the eggs.

No idea why some parent let their kids do that. Some people just think animals are there for their entertainment. Saw a women try to pet the pelicans in st James park (she very soon had second thought)

also seen a lot of people in the Lake District try to chase ducks, pick up cygnets (also regretted this very quickly). Saw a group feeding horses with apples and mints, right next to them was a sign on a fence saying please don’t feed these horses, they are on a special diet. I did intervene, and after being told to fuck off I told them if they did not stop i would take a picture of them and send it to the owner so he could sue them when his/her horses died of colic.

Also loads of dogs off leads around livestock despite signs saying keep dogs on leads. Not to mention the time my husband saw a farmer going ballistic at some parents for letting their kids chase sheep in a field.

There was also a curlew nest in a friend next to the caravan park we were staying and the owner had cameras put up and warning signs about anyone trying to steal the curlew eggs would be prosecuted. The year before they were taken

Brilliant. Pigeons are much maligned imho. Their role aa carrier pigeons in the war saved many lives. When I feed the waterfowl at the local park I always make sure the pigeons get a share 😄

I am in London today and have seen this so many times

Why do people let their kids do this?

I hate people who let their kids torment pigeons. May they all get soundly shat on! 🤣

I've got a friend who feeds pigeons. I'm sending her this, thanks for sharing
