Guest chad3646 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 just in from work and reading this post unbeleivable there is no way they can let doos fly home from 360ml that have drank poison from a drinker never heard the like of it. if its 15 to 20 baskets thats a lot of doos they shurely can not let doos go that this has happened to and i know my doos are in the baskets that are affected and i dont want them took to the racepoint .how the hell can a vet tell if the doos are ok can he see inside it the damage that could be done fkng no real anybody can make a mistake but this is a major fk up and a can not believe so called doo men cracking jokes on the site about it disgracefull :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stb- Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) Personally i think they should have went through the basket list and asked the members with the birds in them if they wanted to withdraw there birds just incase it was harmful , to carry on and send them without members being given the choice is a fekn disgrace . I hope all the birds are ok and this bloody incompetance never ever happens again . Edited June 21, 2013 by stb- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blucock Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Good luck to all. Concerning situation with the drinking water, a veterinarian has examined the birds (from what I am reading) and will do so again. Comments regarding animal cruelty are way out of order and those bandying that kind of phrase about on a public forum should think first before doing so. Maybe they have an agenda? In the interests of safety I would have thought the baskets concerned would be withdrawn to avoid any accusations after the race but this will obviously be down to the committee and clubs/fanciers concerned. Flying doos is hard enough, some of the comments on here smack of politics rather than concern. As for the comments about the marking station - hindsight is a wonderful thing. Maybe someone in the area can volunteer an alternative clubhouse for the next races...? Again best of luck to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only got home late tonight and was shocked to read about this. lesson in future best to have own water containers . Just a well it wasnt paraquat or somthing in the container as could have ended up worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank-123 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 My agenda is to look after the birds. I don't have any birds anymore but how can it not be cruel.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrod Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 It's been mentioned many a time on here about the marking station at new/ green/house , I was told that it was like an oven for Newbury race marking , surely the snfc committee could arrange a better place than this also lessons should be learned about the water water/cans , no use blaming someone oly trying to help , but think it could have been handled better and as others have said members of the concerned pigeons should have had the option to remove them from the race prior to lib and all money's returned .

naedoos Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 My agenda is to look after the birds. I don't have any birds anymore but how can it not be cruel.? Cruelty..... cruelty is indifference to suffering and even pleasure in inflicting it!!! I'm sure this isn't the case here so why do you insist on trying to persecute someone that obviously made an honest mistake and continue to bring the SNFC down and any and every opportunity?? Personaly, if my birds were involved I would be concerned about the situation but if the vet gives them the okay then that would do for me. I'm sure the SNFC will do whatever needs done if there is a reaction with the birds at the racepoint, after all the panniers are marked!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulkie Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 If it's not there birds they don't give a two *expletive removed*s Davie as long as they get a race. Animal cruelty springs to mind.Your out of order brandishing this word cruelty about ,the person had his own birds in the basketsAlong with mine and there is no way he tried to cause pain and suffering on them ,after spending So much to send them ,the watering can was bought that night from the nursery shop by AndrewM.kee.( spelling).

geordie1234 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 The only prob for me is does this mean a vet is gonny be handling and poking about my doos before a lib?? If there is a sick doo in a basket and anyone puts there hand in that basket it will stand too attention. PS It was not 15 baskets it was 26 me and Cullen saw the list of the baskets that had to be sealed with our own eyes FACT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestForever74 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 How many doo's have been affected by this? Surely they must withdraw the affected birds from the race??When can we expect a decision on whats happeneing and how will that be relayed to members?
