Someone is putting tiny cowboy hats on pigeons in Las Vegas as animal rescue works to remove them

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.

I have had that Far Side cartoon on my desk for 20+ years.
August 14th, I can't remember the year.

The other one I used to have was the one with the two sharks lying on their backs relaxing and reminiscing :

Remember the scientists who put wing tags on penguins and that colony suffered more attrition than others as a result- while they don’t fly, lenguins need silent wings as flippers underwater to catch prey and avoid predators with incredible hearing. When you live life on the edge in Antarctica that slight alteration making you noisier can have a big impact.

You know Vegas is a Union town, so I guess International Brotherhood of Pigeons will address the issue.

i suspected fowl play, but i wouldn’t want to pigeon hole the investigators...

Probably slows them down a bit though, the aerodynamics have got to be terrible... :)

Yeah they could use a mouthpiece.

I pushed hard on a store door the other day before I realized it was a pull-open.

My first thought was Midvale School for the Gifted.

“Pigeon Advocacy Group”? WTF? They’re rats with wings.

Have Peregrines in my neighborhood. All I ever see of pigeons is an occasional wing or foot.

This one almost slipped by!

How does something like this even happen? Who would think of this?

Does Michaels sell these little hats or do the hat gluers(?) make them?

Perhaps this was a craft project in need of a purpose? Dapper pigeons, sure why not, no one’s thought of that...

So many questions!
