unwanted racering pigeons

[nutverlal]

hi there true fanciers

 

A question relating to the retirement of racing pigeons.

 

Over last few weeks I have returned many racers to their rightful owners, but sometimes I see many at the local cage for the slaughter or pot.

 

If the pigeons have been injected, treated for worming, canker etc, surely the pigeons are then not for human consumption?

 

how true is this?

 

please do leave sensible replies.

 

thanks

they are breaking the law for a start if they have rings on they are not there property to sell and must be reported to the appropriatte unions ,its no wonder alot of pigeons are not turning up when this is going on

Well, why don't you display the ring numbers of the pigeons you supposedly returned to their rightful ownwers. It would help if you were able to give the owners names which you would have through reporting these pigeons. I doubt very much if these birds were local.
