Heart Broken

[Margarret]

I was so sorry to hear about the terrible loss of your birds. I'm glad you went to the police captain. The police, just like any other organization, always has some bad apples, and unfortunately they were on duty when you called. The lower than life &*(*&%^'s that stole and butchered your birds will hopefully get caught. My blood boils also when I read of these things.

I'm so sorry Brian. I feel the same as everyone else that has already posted. My heart is broken for you and those poor innocent pigeons. Your pijies are in heaven now flying free. I hope the missing ones return to you unharmed. I will never understand the magnitude of cruelty in some people. Absolutely DISGUSTING .

I am so very sorry for your loss. I can only echo what has been said about your treatment by the police. That was just wrong.

I am so very sorry for you and your birds, Brian. I do hope the police will now step up and do their job and really, really hope that some birds survived and will make it home.

I'm so sorry to hear that, that's horrible

and I'm DISGUSTED by the behaviour of the police (the 1st time you called them, and the way they treated you) completely unacceptable ,

Brian, what a horrible thing to experience! So glad you followed up with the police and they responded more appropriately.

So sorry the ten were killed. Have any of your other birds returned? If you could rig up some sort of temporary structure in place of their old home, they might come back to something vaguely familiar. If they were used to your flying and feeding them in a certain routine, use those times to see if any in the area can be drawn in. If it were me, I'd do this for at least 10 days in case the scattered birds joined up temporarily with another flock.

Hooked, I can see why you would be devistated, what a horrible scene to come
home to and then to get the cold shoulder from the police. Hope some of your
birds had a chance to take off & do find their way back home. The police are public servants and their duty is to uphold the local, state and federal laws, ordinances, etc.. Whether you pay taxes or not, they are paid to provide a comprehensive service, not decide for themselves which laws and ordinances they will and will not uphold w/the active presence of their badge. If there are letters or emails that can be sent, please keep us posted.
