City spreads manure to get rid of homeless, apologizes

The city of Abbotsford, British Columbia, recently apologized for a somewhat strident antihomeless measure: They dumped a truck load of chicken manure in a popular homeless gathering place to drive them away. Of course, as anyone can tell you, chicken manure smells absolutely awful, and so they removed it after residents complained, and also noted that it was a pretty crappy thing to do to the homeless.

A local pastor called the move obscene: \"The most marginalized, the most vulnerable citizens are getting kicked and not given the chance to recover and get back up,\" he said. Also, everything smelled like chicken crap. [Source]
