go slow convoy protesting against hawks

[kev01293]

a fancier who is being constantly harrased by hawks/percy suggests in this weeks rp (letters page) that a convoy of go slow vehicles would be a good way of getting people to sit up and take notice  im sure al lot of fanciers have already read this letter-what are your views on a go slow convoy and do u think fanciers would take part?  i for one think its a great idea    kev

the fuel convoys protests didn't acheive anything and fuel prices effect far more people than BOP's do!

Personaly don't think it will get the support!

get a load of feral pigeons and let them go at every hawking exibition to make them hawks behave badly....method in the madness ;) ;)

 

have a small basket and let them go in amongst the hawks... ;D...but film it so we all can see .

I have suggested this before and been shot down in flames. Probably by a small minority who have not been affected or never witnessed a hawk attack on their own birds.

very doubtfull they would find other sources but a few years would make an impact

cancel all racing for 12 months and better keeping them in for 12 months.

just think of the chaos a go slow convoy would cause especially in and around the m25/london areas  nobody else is gonna help us thats for sure  we cant just sit back and do nothing   ive had more than one of my birds given back to me by neighbours after being hawked who were totally unaware of the hawk situation  one neighbour looked at me as if i was mad when i tried to explain what had happened  she didnt even know that hawks live in towns/cities and was adamant that a cat had got my bird   ( do they think i like running around my garden screaming like a wailing banshee )we have to make the public more aware of the what these bops are doing to our birds and wild birds cos nobody is gonna do it for us and we are fast running out of time if this years hawk strikes are anything to go by

i think  12 months is two long that would kill the sport right off pepole wont feed that long not to race

[Guest bigda]

on a go slow how manny drivers are going to love the pigeon men

[pjc]

if your going to keep them in for a month then time it when there eggs are hatching, the young won't survive and they may even start canabalism!

Heard a comment on the radio this morning from a rspcb inspector,Birds of prey are  beautiful and my take the ODD pigeon its cats that pigeon fanciers should be looking to.Unfortunatly until these people take on board what fanciers are saying then I think it's a lost cause.
