I don't know what would be acheived by posting it on the racing forums shadow? Everyones already aware of what can happen & those that are not involved with pigeons couldn't care less if a pigeon dies. I've been involved in falconry & pigeons for a fare portion of my life & images like that do nothing to my emotions so for people with no involvement why would they care? It only hurts pigeon men cos they understand how it feels & the time & effort that's gone in. I understand that birds of prey have got to epedemic proportions & where they are causing a problem people should be able to cull them, i love them but agree with culling where required but you've got as much chance of that as getting a badger cull which is also required, pissing in the wind i'm afraid! as your average joe bloggs has no involvement or understanding & their entire learning/stand point on wildlife comes from rspca programmes on the t.v.

How are you Chubs
This should be posted for many reasons,chief one being,there is too much apathy involved with pigeon men,sit back whinge about it,let some other do something,there are racing men,couldnt tell difference between a Perigrine/ Kestrel/Sparrow H/now to see the above might just raise their emotions,it does mine,as for Joe Public,they have been brainwashed,look at WebCams at any nesting site,the above pictures are never available,show it warts and all,you are dealing with an organization,who are supported by public funds,donations,running into millions,to protect all birds,yet blatantly and publicily support and nourish only already overpopulated Birds of Prey,which are now a threat to many species,of which they profess to care for,the basics Maths of this dilema are,more Birds of Prey,more food required to sustain numbers,with this scenario to continue,it will put an end to flying rollers very soon,maybe racing men can sustain losses,amount of,shorter season,I dont think Roller Flyers can it being a 365 day a year hobby/sport,and much easier kill,to do nothing as is the norm now,now this is criminal as far as I am concerned
P.S The people that got Hare Coursing banned,also probably never had a dog in their life.

I agree with all you've said but as i said people don't care about pigeons, all they'll see is one of the nations favourite birds having it's tea, sad but true. Why mention coursing? do you know me?

Agree entirely with you on this Chubs,people only know what they have been brainwashed into beliving ,Majestic,Icon,Rare,Persecuted,and on on,why not try and let them see the truth,as we know it,not the propaganda thats churned out on a regular basis,bird feeding tables,nut holders,that these people ask you to place in your gardens,are now only killing fields for the Sparrowhawk,breeding boxs on all tall buidings in most cities,this has nothing to do with Nature,this is mans interference with Nature,and sod the consequences,I am in favour of all birds,the Raptors have their place in the greater scheme of things,but definitely not at the expense of all other species,and the manner in which they are selected for special treatment,this is the part I am totally opposed to,the scales are already tipped lavishly in their favour,and if left to continue in this fashion,there will only be one outcome,no I dont know you chubs,I was making a point re cousing,which I have been to most of my life,and still do.

How are you Chubs,living here in Waterford South East Ireland,not going to ask what a Bitsa is,we find 1/4 Collie x are best in this end as lands are mostly small fields,up the Midlands lots of open land,and Salukis x look well on this type of land.

bitsa this bitsa that! she works out to 1/8th bull 1/16 collie rest is whippet/grey. This was her first season, she did very well, a fair few thought she was older than she is. I've been involved with lurchers most of my life finally got my bit of fame with a pic in a book this year l.o.l, Love them to bits, nothing finer from slipping to the conclusion whatever that is!
