An Instagram user who posted a video claimed that a person at a food stall located in Queens, New York throws food scraps to the pigeons, and then captures the pigeons to sell them.

The user also asked followers not to buy food from the said food truck.

“I swear I have seen crazy, but this tops it all! This food truck is located in Queens, New York, at the corner of Queens Blvd and Junction Blvd, across from the Rego Park mall, right in front of TD bank. Spread the word guys! I am beyond disgusted!,” reads the message.

The video shows a man grabbing one of the pigeons eating outside the food truck and later putting it in a plastic bag before returning to the food truck.

Several users have reacted to the video with some demanding action.

However, some users wondered if actually there was a bird inside the plastic bag.

“It looks like he just threw out a bunch of food to them, and that was the rest of the food that was left over in the bag or a roll. It would've been moving if it was a bird, wouldn't it?,” said Instagram user Amber.
