I mean how much meat can actually be on a 30 day old squab. I can have my opinion and thats my opinion. mindy

If Sky tx just said he ate pigeon tonight, how would you feel about that?

I wouldnt put him down for it , it just another part of life and I dont judge people by what they eat and you shouldnt either

Mindy,
I'm not going to get into a debate with you, rather just want to point out that . . .
You're the one who asked Sky Tx if he ate pigeons. And his answer just happened to be yes.

You and others may not be very happy about it, but you did ask.
He didn't say he just ate a pigeon. He referenced it was back in the '70-'80's.

People get judged by everything they do. Thats life. This is a pigeon forum to help pigeon get a better life, not to eat them. I can't be the only one that feels this way. Maybe the only one that will say something. mindy

it sure beats knowing about all the ones that are out there starving to death everyday now thats really sad

[sky tx]

Maybe someone can Explain to Mindy about being raised in Deep South Louisiana Back in the 40's 50's-60's---yes I live in Texas now.

[Mindy]

I would have said NOTHING if you said back in the 40's or 50's and even the 60's but you didn't say that you said the 70's and the 80's. I realize what people did back then. I wasn't even born yet. But I was 15 years old in 1970, thats why I said something.

Lokotaloft, who is starving to death, please explain.

all those lost pigeons that dont make it home from the races and all those birds that they set free like the kings from china towns or any other bird thats lost and not found ,them .

[Mindy]

I agree totally. That is awful.

the point is to teach those who will listen so they can learn ,to do what you can when you can to help and to try not to make enemies along the way because others are different then you.. your approach is awful but your opinion is always welcome

Pretty rude comment, Sky.

[Mindy]

Sky tx, What does that have to with eating pigeons. I wasn't born with a silver spoon and I wore those cotton diapers that you had to wash. My grandmother eats all kinds of stuff that I wouldn't eat. But I also know she would NOT eat pigeons. Even if I didn't have any money, I wouldn't eat pigeons. You didn't answer my question, when was the last time you ate pigeon?

[Mindy]

lokolaloft, I don't know how else to say awful and why pussy foot around. Plus I know its hard to show expressions on a computer. I'm not trying to make enemies at all. I'm here to help pigeons I'm really not here to make friends although I have made many friends, but if I think telling someone that eating pigeons is awful and now I'm there enemies, then so be it, I don't want anyone that eats pigeons today as my friend anyway.

Mindy do you really think all your comments and questions have helped anyone but you ? Im not going to respond to anymore of this but there is a difference to making a difference and trying to tell people how they should be isnt one of them ...your not changing anything , the only way to save lives is by taking them in yourself,thats just how it is

I am not sure where the link is....But isn't this what the King pigeons were raised for? The guy that started this, paid people to raise squab (large) and then failed to meet his obligations to the people that he had contracted with to raise them. These people were left with a lot of birds they did not want. So, they just released them. The sad part is these birds were used to eating and drinking what was provided for them and never learned to make it on their own. Many birds have been released. Many have not made it. Many are rescued and need good homes. Many don't find good homes and wind up elsewhere.
Personally we don’t eat pigeon, but millions of people do. It is considered a delicacy in some places. This guy tried to capitalize on this. I’m sure he was not the first. As pigeon lovers, our goal is to try and help the ones we can. Altgirls thread started with a King Pigeons rescue.
