Practice*http://freeanimalvideo.org/breaking-news
Activists travel to Pennsylvania almost every week to attend the pigeon
shoots and document the event. They point out that Pennsylvania’s Animal
Cruelty Law, Title 18, section 5511, prohibits a person from wantonly or
cruelly ill-treating or abusing any animal. The law also prohibits neglect,
abandonment, and deprivation of food, drink, shelter, or veterinary care.
Pigeon shoots violate every one of these prohibitions. All of the
information including videos can be downloaded below or at
PigeonShoots.comhttp://pigeonshoots.com/.
Pigeon shoots are competitions wherein hundreds to thousands of live birds
are shot at to win prizes. A typical 3-day shoot contest can kill and injure
up to 15,000 birds. The next canned pigeon shoot event is scheduled for
October 3, 2010.
The pigeons are captured and collected for weeks ahead of time, then
released from trap boxes only yards away from the so-called “sportsmen”. The
birds are generally dazed and suffering from dehydration or starvation as
they are sprung out of the boxes.
Rather than mercifully being given a quick death, 70% of the birds are
injured when shot and either left to suffer slow deaths or collected and
killed by pigeon shoot “trapper boys” or “wringers”, traditionally children,
who break their necks, step on them, tear off wings, suffocate them, or cut
off their heads with garden shears, among other abuses.
Pigeon shoots are nothing more than a vile excuse for entertainment for the
dull-witted or psychopathic. Illegal in other countries and in all but a
couple of American states, most people realize the despicable nature of
these bird-killing contests.
Activists vow to take the war against Pennsylvania’s remaining live pigeon
shoots directly to the people, aided by a $1 million gift from former
television personality Bob Barker.
Legislation is pending in both the Pennsylvania House and Senate (H.B.
1411/S.B. 843) to ban the killing of animals launched for trap shoots or
tied in place for block shoots. Activists say: Vote YES on H.B. 1411/S.B.
843 to stop live animal shoots.
