in my opinion a very good post, , that the decline in the sport/hobby of pigeons is off course due to the b o p, this is at its highest level ever, and sure to get worse,,,,,,,if
but would suggest that many racing fanciers [maybe without realizing it] are , at very least, destroying the sport by their own political in fighting , i have often said before , if each fancier could convince even one friend, the pleasures that can be gotten by pigeon keeping or racing , membership could be doubled,, maybe, just maybe, it is the fanciers that should be working with more ,,on attraction, rather than repelling.
, each one fancier can do his or her own bit, by encouraging , and promoting pigeons in a decent way , without seeking medals for it
and off course, the more fanciers , brings on a bigger army to tackle the probs of the b o p, [which can be tackled]
