Feb. 21st, 2021 01:04 amPigeon Guys Face Tough Times: ‘Who Has the Money? Who Has the Roof?’
This article has a passing reference to animal sacrifice. It's amazing how many people who don't care about pigeons at all are up in arms about this in the comments, and how few care at all that there is also a mention of hunting pigeons for sport in the very same sentence. They think they care about animal rights, but the way they spend their focus looks an awful lot like racism. As for me, I don't think the pigeon cares if it ends up on a plate at a fancy restaurant, in the belly of a falcon - or on an altar. I just don't get where these people, none of whom are probably vegetarians, get off saying boo about sport hunting but going on and on and on about the barbarity and cruelty and savagery (their words!) of a religious tradition that isn't even named. For all they know, it's quicker than whatever happens to chickens in the slaughterhouse.
The article is interesting, anyway.
