In Defense of Animals Offers Reward to Capture NY City Pigeon Netters

In Defense of Animals (IDA) is offering a REWARD of $2,500. for Information that leads to the Arrest & Conviction of a person or persons found to have netted and captured pigeons in New York City for the purpose of killing them for human or animal consumption, canned hunting or any organized sale or transfer of the birds that will lead to their death.

Eyewitnesses only must Report Information to both New York City Humane Law Enforcement at (212) 876-7700 ext. 4450 & In Defense of Animals (415) 448-0048.

"The NY Bird Club alerted us to reports of large numbers of pigeons being netted in New York City in the early mornings. IDA is offering a $2,500 Reward in the hope of turning up evidence to find the offender(s.) We suspect that the birds are being transported out of state for canned hunts and even used for human consumption in local live bird markets and restaurants. We are concerned that this could eventually be a source of bird flu transmission to humans." said IDA's East Coast Director, Valerie Sicignano.

You know I could easily make a joke that many people would regard as racist. Instead I will go back to eating my chicken with broccoli.

Seriously though, on Washington Avenue just north of eastern parkway on the left hand (east) side of the street is a Chinese food place. From the roof of 787A Washington Avenue there are no fewer than 10 cat carriers visible in the rear of the premises, just outside the building next to the kitchen door.

Now perhaps they adopted 10 cats from North Shore animal league to combat a mouse problem, something all restaurants have. Is that what you thought when I said cat carriers? No? Ah, then who is the racist?

Fritz, your joke is too deep-I don't get it but anyway it does not matter to me. I think I am an extreme liberal person.

All I really wanna say is that there is $2500 out there for someone to grab. Like Leslie has seen people netting pigeons, so I guess with that many MR members here, some members must have seen people doing it. So go get the $2500.00.

BTW is that what you implied-the carriers are for carrying the netted pigeons? If so let me double check it and if I get the reward we can share.:cheekkiss

I think Fred is netting the pidgeons:idea:

I don't believe you mean that, since there is the concern that they are being served in restaurants. If you eat out, who knows maybe your being served a "winged rat".

Point taken Wingo.

BC I'm going to be away on Saturday but if you're around Sunday we can go hunting. I've got birdseed.

My grandfather killed and cooked few of the pigeons I raised by hand feeding when I was a kid.

It tested good until I realize what they were.

Is a bit hard to pass a pidgeon for a chicken.

Yeah pigeon is good but really small and has almost no meat on it compared to out genetically engineered chicken.

I just wonder what that meat is inside a wonton.

Depends where you go.

The authentic ones are usually pork and shrimp. The ones made for American market in the "take out restaurants" could be anything. Note: take out restaurants are not considered real restaurants in our culture-they are just gimmicks. In general, authentic Chinese restaurants considered "take out chefs" kind of like McDonald boys. A real wonton is supposed to have meat more than the wrapping but the wonton in "take out restaurants" have it just the other way around.

Farm raised pigeons are pretty meaty-of course still no where near a Perdue chicken.

i think this is a rhetorical question but i'm going go out on a limb here n answer it anyway.

heres some info for all thats not familar with real chinese food. there r 2 types of wontons. real chinese ones n the fake. only a few restaurants in chinatown sells the real ones with pork n large shrimps inside. and the skin is thin but does'nt break easily.
don't even ask what the fake ones have inside. u dont wanna know.:lol2:

I like the phrase "the fake" to describe that type of wonton. I said the same when I first come here and my ex girl friend(American Born Chinese) brought me some "wonton soup". I said, "It's fake Chinese food! Is there any Chinese Restaurant around?" She said, "the restaurant name does say Chinese take out but not a single worker there speaks our dialect."

I am sure if someone made the "fake" wontons in Hong Kong, they will be sued by consumer affairs for cheating or deception.
