A disgusted citizen reports the crazed bird feeder of Valenti Way is running amok:

I have seen discards that include deli salads such as tuna and chicken with mayonnaise, whole prepared sandwiches, vegetable salads, cookies, raw slices of meat and bone, two whole raw turkeys, and loaves of bread.

Got to call

the police or park rangers.

Vermin can and will move on to find places with better food.

Feeding them isn't helping them, because you're drawing a lot more of them to a single area, and artificially providing a food surplus.

How about we all chip in and

How about we all chip in and buy each of these people a proper rat-proof bird feeder they can install at their home?
