Pigeons maimed in Manchester

[Peckedhen]

I have just come across the most distressing case of cruelty. Im Middleton, Manchester, some ba$tard is ripping out pigeons beaks condeming them to a slow death. The RSPCA appear to be doing nothing about it. Some of these birds are ringed. I dont think this is conected to AI - surely if that were the case the birds would have been killed not tortured in this way?

Reckon thats more an injury than a disfigurement.

 

Something very like it in 1963 when I had a hen go through multiple telephone wires strung post to post, took her top beak right off to beyond the wattle. She was left with her lower beak and wattle, but no way could she eat or drink and had to be put down.

 

Bird in photo and others said to be like her need to be put down, otherwise slow death from thirst / starvation.

Bruno, If it was just one bird then I would agree it could be an injury but there are at least six of them and its happened near Manchester before.

looks like some kind of injury to me,maybe caught in a spring trap, but the birds should be put down,where are the rspb or the rspca, when needed? they should be finding out the reason, for this   [ seems that someone has done this , read the paper report after i posted,,terrible]

[westy]

i would pull there heads off and arms and legs and laught at them.

down a dark alley and give the mwhat for like half the scum needs on our streets.

[mealybar]

Disgusting.

 

I recon if the TV cameras (the like of animal hospital) were there the RSPCA would have been there within 5mins.

[Guest]

Guess if this had have happened to one of the RSPB's precious Hawks, the wold and his brother would have known about it by now.

 

I would personally like to get my hands on the Bar Steward who did this, or should I say my Baseball bat.

Really stomach churning this.

 

I agree with Jimmy W and Bruno though; it looks more like an injury. The birds need to be euthenised though as they face a slow death. I would think that they are probably feeding at some place where they are catching their beaks and causing severe trauma.

 

Years ago I was involved with a case where several blackbirds were found the same way, then it was discovered that someone had put lots of break back rat traps out as he was plagued by rodents. He failed to put them away out of sight, and the blackbirds were going for the bait and getting their beaks caught.

 

This was in the late 60's, but maybe there are still some folk out there who either haven't a clue, or simply don't care.

Take your point.     Strange business, strange report. Not that I'm going to try it, but I just can't imagine that its possible to pull the bird's beak off. Would have thought decapitation or birds neck being broken would happen first. Then theres bound to be muscle and tendon etc.

[Peckedhen]

Some of the birds have been caught and euthanised. It would appear the beaks have been removed with piers or some other sharp instrument. Some birds had obviously been maimed more recently than others. >

Pleased to see that the Cops are treating this seriously

[rockinrick]

omg i have seen nothing like it before that is so *expletive removed* wrong  the *expletive removed* ass holes need castratin and put in brothel for the criminaly insane lol

 

 

jus my views,,, rockinrick

[Peckedhen]

Things are, at last, moving.

 

The birds are still being caught and euthanised. Today TV crew have interviewed two of the people who are helping the birds, and the RSPCA is now actively involved and have said they will prosecute those responsible for attacking these birds.

[rockinrick]

fking A they should sort it out  excellent start to a big prob  ( cruelty )

 

cheers rockinrick

omg i have seen nothing like it before ... that is so *expletive removed* wrong  .... criminaly insane ... jus my views,,, rockinrick

 

 

Edited your quote down to show bit I'm picking up on, Rockinrick.

 

When I saw the photo I remembered that the world's serial killers are reputed to have started their sick careers when they were kids - maiming and torturing animals ; so your views linking these people with the insane might not be so wide of the mark as you imagine!!!!  ;D

Take your point, Mealybar, but it's occurred to me that this sick act has maybe turned the public's sympathy backTOWARDS the pigeon rather than AGAINST it as in last weekend's UK press attacks??

 

Posted elsewhere ... Ken Livingston didn't really appreciate place street pigeon occupies in public's heart ... until he tried to stop people feeding them AND tried to cull their numbers. Just mistreat ONE and see what happens....

I think your post on Arson attacks is relevant here too:-

 

"whats the sport comming to,it would be nice if we used some of the vast amount of money in the RPRA account to use as some sort of reward to catch these Basssssssssssstds money talks"

 

 

Maybe a reward being put up would flush the b'stard(s) out and get US some good PR.
