Why!

[Guest waynemorris]

Was at home today with Dad talking about the Metz National we had just entered and the pigeon we had at 8:30 the Next day and were we are going to send him next, when out of the blue a lovely Grizzle hen which had gone to the Reims race 2 weeks earlier hit the loft. Both of us were really chuffed that she had made it back after 2 weeks out. When she then comes in through the trap we then notice that our ETS ring as been removed but worse than that Her life ring has been cut off. Her racing career is now dedfinatley over and all becuase some bloody idiot decided to do this, it really makes my blood boil. Has anyone else had this done to them or explain to me why some so called fancier would even do it. Hope this so called fancier gets really chronic arthritis in his hands so he cant use a pair of cutters again. Thats my rant for the day

could always be a stray catcher who has then sold the bird on and somebody has let it out!

Watch the free adds and birdtrader etc to see birds being sold everyday let alone bird markets etc!

 

If it has been into a fancier, then they are no fancier!

do people really catch and then sell on pigeons like this ? why do people buy them ? i'm not doubting its not true...but can it really be worth doing?

[pjc]

stray catchers make there money 2 ways, they usualy get paid by the council for removing birds then they often sell the birds into the food chain or sell them on!

Some on here have purchased birds from a certain pet shop!

had the same thing done to me 2 seasons ago with a hen that had flown the NFC fourgers race

and was my first bird home i then rested her for a week then sent her on a training toss she came

back six weeks later with no ring on and her end flights had been tied so she could not fly you could see the

marks it took me over 12 months to get her back to normal she still can,t fly no more then 5 mins now

i dred to think what she went through . i know how you feel mate but at least she back save and sound now .

cheers kev .
