Stop feeding the pigeons!

I live near the Tufts Medical MBTA station that is under attack by pigeons (“MBTA looks to bring in hawks,” Metro, Oct. 8), but the the source of the problem is that someone is feeding them on an industrial scale. Several times a day someone empties a bag of rice on the plaza.

I like the idea of the falcons, but I fear that their endless supply of food may offset the predation.

As Pogo Possum said, “We have met the enemy and he is us.”
