According to the broadcaster, a defiant Ozawa told investigators, "The roads belong to humans, and it is the pigeons who should dodge."
Ozawa is now suspected of using "his car to kill a common pigeon, which is not a game animal," according to a police official, according to Agence France-Presse.

Ozawa would have broken Japan's Wildlife Protection, Control, and Hunting Management Act if convicted. According to the Asahi Shimbun, police stated that Ozawa is a professional driver and hence should be held to a higher ethical standard on the road.
