DOES anyone care for pigeons?
Can anyone stop the constant lost pigeons from ending up on the streets?
It is about time the breeders of pigeons are forced to take some responsibility when some of the pigeons they race don’t return home. The pigeons get lost, are weak and end up in all our towns and streets.
Buildings now have spikes around them and nets put up to stop pigeons perching on them and sleeping. People are not allowed to feed them either.
All this makes them suffer terribly in the winter time. They get called vermin when all they are doing is surviving.
Lots of pigeons cannot walk and have toes and feet missing, I am assuming with frost bite.
I would hate to be a feral pigeon.
