JenniferMay tells us more.
OP here... I can't believe this got published. After I posted it I realised it was kinda more '**** the pigeons life' well, not so much, since it was dead. Basically I was on reception that day and I can see through the front door's window into the car park so I do tend to gaze out of it a lot. I noticed the dead pigeon on my way in but I was already running late so I didn't have time to pick it up or bury it. I promised myself I'd get it at the end of the day if it was still there... well as you can imagine, it wasn't :( About 11am I saw this car pull into the car park. At first it went right around it, but a few minutes later I saw it reversing. Then one person got out of the car, went behind it and looked like she was signalling to the driver where to drive. I couldn't look as the car went over, I swore I could hear the cracks from where I was, it was awful. The driver then drove off of it and parked on the curb. I was so shocked i was just staring wide-mouthed as the driver got out with a huge camera bag and tripod. They then actually picked the main body of it up and put it in their car. It was all over in about 10 minutes, honestly the most disturbing thing I think I've ever witnessed. Also, I'm loving all the bird puns. I guess that couple made a right 'tit' of themselves, eh? :P

I think it was Sam pepper, trying to show that harming an animal is not good
And here I thought good people had vanished from this rock. Just turns out most have have replaced by people flattening birds for some artsy commentary on life. just guessing here on my part.
Woah I got so many thumbs! Didn't expect that
I wonder if runoverpidgeons dot com is taken by now?
Ah hipsters...
@45 I never said it wasn't gross or weird. All I said was that since the pigeon was already dead it wasn't in any pain when they ran over it and some people don't understand that.
When I first read this, I thought you said the pigeon was still alive and they went out of the way to run it over. But I read it again and that was not the case. Still, that is weird and messed up.
Obviously just trying to make some "edgy" artistic photography. Not my type of photography, but I wouldn't consider it disturbing unless they ran over a live pigeon to do it.
That was my first thought as well, but I'm confident in my assessment that they are clearly demented farks.
There are many things to be said about this. You may have watched the next serial killer couple practicing on animals

Anyone in the market for road kill art? Yeah, me neither.
