Pigeon racing is a lousy, greedy, and often unlawful activity. One thing that it is not is kind to birds.

A lot of people have culturally induced ethical blindness, but they can be cured!
Ingrid Newkirk
Image
The bottom line is that people dont have the right to manipulate or to breed dogs and cats ... If people want toys, they should buy inanimate objects. If they want companionship, they should seek it with their own kind.

Image
If we are ever to halt climate change and conserve land, water and other resources, not to mention reduce animal suffering, we must celebrate Earth Day every day - at every meal.

The wonderful thing is that it's so incredibly easy to be kind.
