I'm curious as to that use the farmer has for the pigeons. It has to be feed or fertilizer, there is no market for meat. He had some very fancy equipment for a farmer.
That farmer would probably be John Gruel, in Ainsworth, Indiana. He is one of the people who sponsors live pigeon shoots. That is the he-men of the community gather with shotguns and release the birds from a box. While the bird is standing around trying to get oriented the macho-men blow it apart with shotguns at relatively close range. Whats the point of having a gun if you can't kill something with it, right fellas.
Shame Alderman Cappelman if this was your doing! Shame on the City of Chicago for promoting the slaughter of defenseless birds by gun toting morons. What's next, the local school?
Those pigeons by the way belong to the People of Illinois, not the aldermen of Chicago and sure as hell not to the farmers of Indiana.
that woman that was horrified should have jumped in her car and followed that truck to Indiana. That way, on the conveyor belt, she could have held up her arm and yelled out her last words "Soilent Green is PIGEONS!"
ever wonder why we don't eat pigeons, like we do with chickens?
Is there any difference ? Granted, a bit smaller.
If you have a lot of pigeons and a lot of concrete and high rises, it equates to a mess and a germy one at that. Unfortunately the pigeons have got to go.
Ok what is the story with this man in Indiana? We need follow up!
Some people do eat pigeons. They tend to be an oily tastingbird and hard to prepare since plucking the feathers is difficult since they are so small and have such thin skin. Also, the wild "flying rat" pigeons carry diseases.
And 24 hours later the pigeons use their homing senses and fly back, faster than the farmer can drive to and from Chicago. You could drop them 1000 miles away and they'll be back faster than the person dropping them off.
I wish Texas would declare Ashe Juniper mountain cedar trees a nuisance and ban them, chop them down and replant something better. This stupid allergen plagues sooo many people here. If they can ban pigeons, they can ban trees that make people sick all winter.
But altogether, a likely local resource for fines if someone feeds them.
Perhaps they could be trained to vote with their droppings and elect a more benevolent Alderman than Cappleman. Afterall, they have learned to survive in Chicago, of all places, without a job !!!!
Wait a minute, they do provide jobs for car washes, janitors, building window cleaners, steeplejacks... to say nothing of medical professionals for H1N1 viruses, pest control...etc. And Chicago is now exporting pigeons....to Indiana. WOW. Put that on the tourist brochure and watch them in action.
