People are always surprised to hear that king pigeons are meat birds...

Here's an article from one of our rescue partners, Harvest Home Animal Sanctuary, that addresses the topic of squab. For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of meeting a "squab", they are incredibly sweet, innocent and vulnerable little beings. I've attached a picture of MickaCoo-rescued squab Butters http://www.rescuereport.org/2010/02/butters.html who wound up as a stray at SFACC in Jan 2010. (He's all grown up into a big man bird now and adopted.) I'd say eating squab is very much like eating a puppy. Pass it on.
