Found this image online, labeled "Passenger Pigeon slaughter 1884." We honestly have no idea if this is real or what. But wow. *NOTE: one of our twitter followers found the same image with a newspaper article that identifies the pile as being a pile of bison skulls waiting to be ground up for fertilizer. So we have our answer.
