Sacred Haven of Debauchery

How are things with the pigeons? I mean, the birds. I've noticed an unreal number of dead birds in the last month – about half a dozen each week, and that's in different areas. About ten percent of them are on or near roads, and the rest are just scattered around. And today, I was walking and almost stepped on one – it was sitting hunched over right near the pedestrian path and didn't even flinch. It looked like a junkie, to be honest. I think the numerous emissions in Moscow and the surrounding area are finally having an effect, and the wildlife is dying out in real time. I've never seen anything like this before.
