Correct me if im wrong but from past experience, stories and from the latest news...Amtrak provided a poor service all in all to fanciers around the UK, late pick ups, rude, almost never answering the phones and in worst case scenario's, dead pigeons when being delivered.
Im sure we can all agree that Amtrak were a poor Homing Express and some may say it was a god sent that they liquidised to illuminate any more problems....
But, seems like another Courier service (J Cooper Logistics) has caught hold of this business and opened their own Homing Express for pigeons.
As a pigeon flyer, I find it quite shocking that we would go down the same road as Amtrak and follow a Courier service where the actual Couriers and owners have the slightest idea about Homing Pigeons.
Believe me, I know I wouldnt want my pigeons beng transported throughout the UK in terrible conditions, being slung in the back of a van with paint, books and other materials that the Courier may be carrying that day!! It isnt safe.....!!!!
We need to make sure we have the right Courier for our Pigeons, someone who is dedicated to the safe carrying and not the money!!
I assure you, Amtrak made these mistakes, other Courier companies will. We need Couriers with a background or grounding on Pigeons and theyr safety.
