A new bread-based delicacy from Kazan, Russian Republic of Tatarstan might become all the buzz for locals with a penchant for bird meat.

Akin to the natural cycle of lemmings leaping to their deaths from cliffs, the pigeons are seen diving for grain, before being quickly sucked into the machine (and probably ending up on someone’s plate). Despite seeing their brethren offed one by one by the hungry bread mill, the next pigeons are none the wiser.
