Please stop the unnecessary killing of unsuccessful racing/breeding pigeons!!

    Hi 👋,
    I searched “petition pigeon culling” (or something like that) on Goodsearch, thinking of finding and acting with petitions against the culling of free pigeons, such as city pigeons, etc. I may have found/seen one/some like that, but I also came across a pigeon racing page promoting the killing of pigeons that are “bad breeders”/“bad flyers”. Killing pigeons unnecessarily just because they’re “bad breeders” or “bad flyers/racers” is absolutely wrong. Pigeons have rights. They have a right to exist like we do. They probably have feelings and a desire to exist. How would the person/people responsible for that page, other media promoting the killing of those pigeons and those who do the killing like to be killed off unnecessarily just for being “bad runners”/“bad breeders”? Many people would be absolutely disgusted and outraged at the thought of this sort of thing happening with dogs đŸ¶ and cats (e.g greyhound racing, Yulin, the dog đŸ¶ and cat đŸ± meat trades in South Korea), but we SHOULD NOT let it be done with pigeons as well.
    I know pigeon racing can be a business, but those who do it should also have great love and care for the pigeons. All captive pigeons, as for all captive animals*, should be cared for as well as can be and have the best existences possible.
    * I’m against some/many zoos. I’m not against proper, good animal sanctuaries that care for them all in the best ways possible and make their existences as good as possible. I’m against zoos whose main concern is money. I’m not necessarily as against zoos whose main focuses are the wellbeing of all the sentient beings and conservation, who care for all the animals in the best ways that they can, make it all as safe, enjoyable, pleasant for the people, and most/all of the animals there are rescues. Please also sign petitions against bad zoos and bad captivity, bad private “ownership” of exotic animals. Anyhow, these pigeons matter greatly, too. Please kindly contact any people/bodies/businesses associated with pigeon racing/breeding to prioritise the wellbeing and safety of pigeons above unnecessary profits and stop all unnecessary violence against the pigeons and any other violated sentient beings involved.
    P.S I love pigeons. They’re cute. Some may regard them as “pests”, but apparently you are more likely to get struck by lightning or get ill from eating meat than get ill due to contact with pigeons, if I’m. Besides, it isn’t the pigeons’ fault that they carry diseases. I’ve fed the pigeons a few times in Exeter, UK. Pigeons are one of my favourite animals.
    Thank you 😊 to the moon 🌓 and back.
    May you and all sentient beings be perfectly well, healthy, happy and safe forever.
    Best Wishes,
    Rory.
    Have the best day and night ever!
