Demand Philadelphia Gun Club release the name of this pigeon abuser!

  • by: P Holmes
  • recipient: Philadelphia Gun Club, Bensalem, PA; David Heckler, Bucks County District Attorney

Philadelphia Gun Club has a long history of animal cruelty citations filed against them over the years, primarily due to their sponsorship of the killing contests known as live pigeon shoots. In these barbaric competitions, people stand at close range and shoot pigeons as they are released from boxes one by one. Live pigeon shoots are illegal in every state except Pennsylvania.

On January 31st 2016, an individual at the Gun Club was filmed by the animal rights group SHARK, torturing an injured pigeon, throwing it against the rocks, kicking it and stabbing it with a stick. 

When questioned by the authorities, the Club denied the depraved individual is an employee. Yet the video filmed by SHARK seems to show otherwise.

Just because these birds cannot speak, it does not mean they do not feel pain. Please join me and demand the Philadelphia Gun Club inform the police who this individual is so that the Bucks County District Attorney can bring animal cruelty charges. This individual must be held accountable for his cruel and heinous act.

Thanks as always for your support.

Update #17 years ago
Contacted Senator Toomey a while back. Got a call from his political staffer yesterday. He said the Senator takes animal cruelty seriously and will make sure Senator Toomey knows about this. I will update if I hear anything new. Please continue to share this petition on social media. Thanks for your support as always!
