As recently reported<\/a>, a pigeon in the London borough of Lewisham named “Tony” has been proposed by an online petition <\/a>to be the town’s “Animal Mayor.”\u00a0\u00a0The petition requests that the existing mayor and borough council create this position which would be “the figure head and forum to bring everyone together.”\u00a0 According to the petition, “if we had a more respectful and empathetic view of Lewhisham’s non-human residents, we would try harder to protect the environment.”\u00a0 Tony’s entertaining campaign video <\/a>indicates that he would rename the borough, which has 300,000 inhabitants, “Zooisham.”\u00a0\u00a0 Evidently, the campaign would be “run online and open to every resident of Lewisham aged 5 and above.”\u00a0 Perhaps Tony will have some insights on Brexit strategy.<\/p>\n
