is this straight up animal death? wtf

no. it’s a grain mill. they’re intentionally flying into the grain to pop out of the other side for fun.

Check the description here for the exact same video:

“Hungry Pigeons are being dragged together eating the grain on a bread-baking plant.
It is reported that after they’re sucked in the pigeons fall onto a vibrating grid and then fly off. All the birds escape. “
