I already have a security guy that makes my life miserable about this. I thought about stopping and then said to myself forget it. The birds need the food especially no toe(A feral that lost all but one toe on both feet I guess because of thread toe). The way I figure it if this bird can survive like this he deserves a helping hand.
Keep us all in prayer

Maybe if we all sent the reporter an e-mail stressing our concern about the unfair treatment that Mr. Pitts recieved AND explaining that pigeons ARE NOT
the disease ridden vermin that too many people think they are she would run another article in support to this mans right to his life as a law a biding citizen.

It's a very sad case, i hope with some luck and commen sense all works out for mr pitts, if it goes against him i feel really sorry for the pigeons, coming down to feed and wondering why mr pitts is'nt feeding them. would be very hard for him seeing this and not fit to do anything,
It's a cruel world

Why can't people just get on with their own lives without causing trouble for others .People should look at life through a pigeons eyes and realise what a struggle it is.

There are a couple of things you could do.

You could e-mail the reporter (click on her name at the top of the story) and ask if she would mind forwarding a note on to Mr. Pitts.
You could also send a letter to the editor, which could have a chance of being published. Here's a link to submit a letter:

Did anyone send a letter to the editor? Can we get some NYC members to get to this court date, or get the bird club involved? that is so so sooo sad how he really HAD to fight it, and if he goes to jail his dogs would die. How horrible!
