I think you just had to be there

They adapted to cities because we caught them and selectively bred them for traits that we found pleasing, just like dogs.

They're honestly wonderful pets. Look into getting or building a loft if you have the yard space and the time.

Pigeons are a domesticated species that we abandoned long ago. The birds you see aren't wild, but feral.
Which is to say they aren't protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty act and you can keep them as pets if you catch them when they're young.
Just a fun fact!

The queen changed multiple laws to enrich herself while she held power. This is a well known fact.
I'm not responding to the rest of your comment because it's clear I've struck a nerve and you're having a conniption fit. Go take some deep breaths or something.

Did Harry and Meghan cut you off in traffic or something? Why all this vitriol over people you'll never meet? Because they didn't like that the royal family was racist to their kid?
I can assure you that of the few people in the US who actually care about English news, most are more focused on whatever nonsense is going on with your prime ministers.

If you really want an opinion then fine, I definitely think they're better than ol Lizzie was. At least they never secretly changed the equal opportunity employment laws to specifically discriminate against people of color like she did. Nor did they campaign against a woman's right to get divorced like she did.
I'm not sure why you're up and down this thread trying to trash them. If you think they're an embarrassment or whatever, maybe you should focus on your prime ministers instead.

I can't imagine having an opinion one way or another about the rich grandkids of a dead racist tbh.

The podcast You Are Good did a very good episode about the film, and drew the conclusion that the book was better for having more of a focus on Jack's alcoholism and attempts to stop abusing his son.

Reply to Hannibal Lecter in The Red Dragon by Majiska394
The terms psychopath and sociopath have been thrown around so thoroughly by fictional media that they have very little actual meaning any longer. Neither one is an actual medical diagnosis.
Thomas Harris also didn't want to write Hannibal Rising. He wrote the book and adapted it to a screenplay under threat of losing his rights to the character altogether. I suspect he wrote himself in circles until he felt like he was done and slapped a cover onto it. Some continuity errors are to be expected.
