Japan Fights Crowds of Crows (2008)
> Mr. Ishihara angrily ordered the city into action after a crow buzzed his head while he was playing golf, city officials said.
So the mayor only acted when he was personaly bothered by the issue, apparently.

Golf is a frustrating game. I can easily see ordering the murder of all birds in Tokyo if a Crow messed up my birdie.

I've never played golf, so I can't say. I was more commenting on an example of a politician acting only when he's experiencing the problem first-hand.

Hardly an uncommon phenomenon, I must say.
