Fox 32 ^

Posted on 12/10/2019 10:17:18 AM PST by MNDude

KVVU reported that a local animal rescue and pigeon advocacy group known as Lofty Hopes has serious concerns about the negative impacts the hats will have on the pigeons.

"At first, I was like, oh my God that's cute!” Mariah Hillman told KVVU. "Then, I was like, wait a minute – how did they get those hats on there?“

Hillman runs the animal advocacy organization, whose slogan is, “a pigeon positive movement.”

While the identity of the person putting the hats on the pigeon remains unknown, Hillman told KVVU her organization is on a mission to track down the birds and remove their hats.

Lofty Hopes is a pigeon advocacy non-profit funded by the National Association of Automatic Car Washes.

Look for a very tiny person as a prime suspect.

Pigeons. Nothing a 12-year-old with a pellet gun couldn’t handle.

“Look for a very tiny person as a prime suspect.”

Or a very tiny victim of avian gang activity.

Oh the concern! Just imagine the indignity felt by those birds! Why some of them even have names unlike unborn babies who are to be aborted. They don’t have names, and there is no widespread outrage over their impending death.

They look like spy pigeons to me.

The question is who are they working for?

It’s not going to hurt them, the feathers molt off regularly and as they do the hats will loosen and fall off.

might impede their vision slightly but since they always fly in a flock the other birds will cover their 6...
