korero

some evil doer left a four kilogram box of grain laced with poison (alpha-chloralose) out at western springs park and it killed nearly 80 birds. ducks, pigeons, swans, and pukeko. if this was deliberately done all i can say is, someone is an evil person. how long till this person no longer gets his kicks killing defenceless animals? whoever you are, you are "sick."
the poison basically reduced the birds' body temperature and that was fatal.
the treatment mostly involved restoring body temperatures provided the birds had not eaten too much of the grain.
it feels 'scary' to be part of a society which has people in it, capable of doing this.
