From Save the Trafalgar Square Pigeons

[Feefo]

Dear supporter,

This Action Alert concerns the sickening use of hawks to terrify and kill pigeons – a practice, as the eye-witness account to the right shows, is nothing short of bloodsports.

Trafalgar Square

The notorious Van Vynck Avian Solutions were sacked from Trafalgar Square several years ago following a spate of complaints about the huge numbers of birds that they deliberately killed in front of members of the public. Incredibly, they have been re-employed and are now back tormenting pigeons on the Square.

We have scientifically proved that using the hawks is completely ineffective as a method of deterring pigeons

Please email the Mayor registering your discust that Van Vynck has returned to the Square. Email address: mayor@london.gov.uk

Bath City Centre

Bath and North East Somerset Council (BANES) had also decided to introduce hawks to “unsettle” both pigeons and gulls. Inevitably this will involve many birds being killed.

Interestingly, the council has proposed an otherwise humane, non-lethal package to reduce bird numbers, so we are hopeful that large-scale opposition will cause them to call of the hawks.

The Pigeon Control Advisory Service (PICAS) has issued a statement comprehensively demolishing the council’s case for using hawks. We urge you to read it here and then to email the council asking them to think again. Email address: Environmental_protection@bathnes.gov.uk

Thank you in advance on behalf of the birds.

Kind regards,


Save the Trafalgar Square Pigeons
