Iwould imagine that discharging a firearm in a built up area would be a criminal offence.Keep your birds hungry and on a nest
Guest IB Posted July 23, 2011 Report Posted July 23, 2011 BHW covered shooting of pigeons some years ago. I think there were 2 laws that applied, both relating to property (the birds are your property). I think they were damage, and theft.
Guest skippersworld Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 Dont understand what you wrote IB, but basiclly if my birds are on his property, more than likely pooin on everything! Does he have the right to kill the birds?

Guest skippersworld Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 Is there anything on the internet i can print off and put through a few peoples letter boxes down my road? Stating that this is against the law.

Does he have the right to kill the birds? They are your property and he hasn't any right to harm / kill them. According to British Homing World article you can sue for damage to property, and theft of property.
