A taxi driver from Tokyo, Japan, was arrested last week after being accused of deliberately driving his car straight into a flock of pigeons and hitting one of them, local media reported.
Tokyo police said they arrested Atoshi Ozawa, 50, after identifying him through surveillance camera footage in the area of the November incident, the Asahi Shimbun reported.
A veterinarian pronounced the injured pigeon dead.
The police were called to the scene after a passerby saw Ozawa driving his car when the traffic light turned green, before driving straight into the flock of pigeons at a speed of about 60 km/h. The passerby quickly called the police, where they determined that the driver had hit the bird on purpose. Ozawa told investigators: The roads belong to humans, it's the pigeons that have to dodge."
Ozawa is now accused of "using his car to kill a common pigeon, which is not a game animal," a police spokesman said, according to Agence France-Presse. If found guilty, Ozawa would violate the Wildlife Protection Act, The control and hunting of Japan.
Maybe the solution is for pigeons to cross at a crosswalk?
Yes.

It is not yet clear what the punishment for the "careless" driver is expected to be, but according to the New York Times, if he is found A guilty taxi driver may receive a sentence of up to a year in prison or a fine of one million yen (7,000 dollars, approximately 25,000 shekels).
Japanese pigeons were almost legally designated as a pest during the 1980s, but the proposal was ultimately rejected due to concerns about harming the status of racing pigeons.
According to the New York Times, when a Japanese driver is faced with birds on the road he is expected to slow down to let the birds disperse on their own.
The police added that Ozawa is a professional driver with a lot of experience and therefore they expect him to meet a higher ethical standard when he drives on the road.
They defined his behavior as "extremely malicious" before deciding to take action to arrest him, the Fuji TV news network explained.
