Because, speaking for omnivores, we wouldn’t eat random dead heron EITHER.

This could have been the work of a Great Horned Owl, which The City is lucky to have a number of. This is the only predator that is in the area that is big and aggressive enough to take on a heron AND would use this spot as a plucking post, which is a perch birds of prey use to eat their meals (I’m a biologist and full of arcane knowledge). Weird, at any rate…other than the owl and a very cunning coyote (which would not carefully drape a huge bird on a post), humans would be the only other culprit around these parts.

I could see someone choking a bird to death but I dont see why they would feel the need to gut it if its just an act of vandalism. Granted some asshole clearly put that carcass onto that post but its not nearly conclusive that human hands caused that birds demise.

If we ever cross paths, they can rest assured that they’ll meet the same fate ;)
