Pub 'Pest Control'

[Webmaster]

Dear Sirs

 

I am not a pigeon racer myself but am a great fan of pigeons and am assuming all visitors to your website would be as well!  So I am wondering if you can possibly help.

 

I have recently encountered a local pub which is having pigeons which roost on their balconies shot by pest controllers.  Please see link below for further details.

There is also a follow up article about a local lady whose homing pigeon has gone missing (and who is worried it has been shot), however this isn't on the newspaper's website.

 

Needless to say I and many other people are horrified by this, however the pub have so far refused to change their approach (such as using deterrent spikes or netting etc).  Instead it seems they would rather carry on shooting.

 

I am hoping that a recognised organisation such as yourselves may be able to exert some pressure on the pub.

 

If you would be able to contact them and urge them to change their approach I would be very grateful.  Also, if you are able to put something on your website about this, and urge your readers to contact them as well, I'm sure the more complaints they get, the more likely they are to change their minds.

 

The pub's number is 020 8529 5773 and the manageress is Victoria Smith.

 

Many thanks if you can help, and please contact me if you want any further info.

 

Yours faithfully

Speeking of Pubs and Animals here is one.

 

A lion, a gorilla and a chicken are talking in a pub. As often happens in pubs, they began boasting. The lion said, "I'm the King of the Jungle because when I roar everyone runs out of the jungle". The gorilla said, "That's nothing. I'm the King of the Jungle because when I beat my chest everyone runs out of the jungle screaming".

 

Both the lion and the gorilla turned to face the chicken who says, "Roaring, beating, pah! That's nothing. When I sneeze ten million people sh** themselves!"
