sick? u like peregines do u?

[pjc]

its not the way to do it!

I've come accross a bird recently tethered being used to train a hawk, took the finder an hour to get the fishing line from around the rung pigeons legs!

[Okitsme]

The sick part is using a live pigeon

[Guest]

What's one compared to the thousands of racings pigeons slaughtered. Hardly justice

[Okitsme]

Its people who have no consideration for a life.

[pjc]

Its the racing fanciers that instantly get the blame, it doesn't look like a racer!

Do tipler and tumbler flyers also not suffer so why do raceing fanciers always get blamed?

[Guest bigda]

totally shocked, as to  what these falconers will get up to, trying to steal the hawk for  profit and sell it abroad i suppose, they have a dam cheeck  and  trying to blame the  honest pigeon fanciers of northern Ireland  i have heard falconers in the pub say they can get  Â£3,000  cash easy for one of them peregrines, and where is the protection of all birds  they seem to think its normal that  they are allowed to eat all types of birds bar them selves :-/

[Guest]

Yes I agree, I don't condone using live bait, that is sick. I hardly think any pigeon fancier would subject one of his birds to that. More likely to be someone wanting a young BOP as a pet

speculation ? a photo speaks a 1000 words

JMO but i think you're spot on. if falconners use tethered pigeons to train then why not catch....the young hawk was missing (no body) and was the pigeon laced with poison ?

[Guest bigda]

them hawk boys are clever they would know where to look for the hawks and they have a website  all of there own where they exchange info on hawks they trade in them all the time

wolf :X in sheep's clothing  springs to mind   :  every year we hear, but not convinced that eggs are taken from ospreys nests that the  army  gaurd, or sas  then out comes the

rspb with there  collection tins    

[the pigeon_milker]

how come people are shocked by things like this but when the powers that be

get away with killing thousands of pigeons and other birds with poisons all over england and no one seems to care or not notice ?

[OLDYELLOW]

pointing finger at fanciers ????? it might be a BOP enthusiast trying to get a breeding pair

[the pigeon_milker]

Using a pigeon as live bait is sick. What makes the pigeons life worth less than their own.

[Guest numpty01]

its come to the point were a falcons life is more important than a human life how maney muggings and assults committed in that area ??how many police resouces to find the perps ?how many hours and how much money wasted on protecting birds which are in abundance in this country ? god what the hell is wrong with this country but most of al us fanciers :-/ :-/

yes tyeing any prey down like that for wot ever means is sick but so is the way chickens are housed before they die but we still kill and cook them for dinner without a care for how they live there lifes there is a deferents between killing something and being cruel to them in life or death

[gangster]

Ah you see, thats why I have not eaten chicken in over six years. I dont eat any type of fowl, although I must confess that I still do enjoy other meat.

[the pigeon_milker]

[just ask me]

wonder did the falcon get a taste of what ever was on his neck if there was anything
