Pigeon Wearing Santa Hat Spotted in Las Vegas
A pigeon wearing a Santa hat was spotted strolling the streets of Las Vegas, USA, sparking controversy.
According to Times Now in the US on the 22nd (local time), a pigeon wearing a red Santa hat was recently spotted near a building parking lot in Las Vegas. A citizen who first discovered the pigeon filmed the scene and shared it on social media, and the video quickly gained widespread attention. The released footage shows the pigeon wearing the red hat shaking its head back and forth as it walks.
It appears that someone put the Santa hat on the pigeon to celebrate Christmas. However, local media speculated that adhesive was used, considering that the hat did not shake or fall off even when the pigeon moved its head.
The local animal rescue organization that learned of the incident is publicly seeking the person who harmed the pigeon. The group is currently investigating the case and urged anyone who witnessed the culprit or has related information to report it.
This is not the first time such an incident has occurred in Las Vegas. In 2019, pigeons wearing cowboy hats were spotted, causing controversy. It was confirmed at the time that adhesive was used, but the culprit was not caught. Animal organizations then condemned the act as "inhumane behavior" and raised their voices in criticism.
Meanwhile, netizens who saw the news expressed various reactions, such as "Is it really necessary to do such things?", "I wonder why someone would put a hat on a pigeon," "At first, I thought it was cute, but it's sad to hear adhesive was used," and "Does that mean the pigeon has to wear the hat until it molts?"
