It’s Elmer Fudd Weekend – UPDATE

UPDATE:  follow this link…

—————————————————————————————————————–

Looks like the Elmer Fudd slob hunters will be out this weekend.  The Pike Sportsmans Club for the undereducated cowards has prepped the killing fields for their next bird slaughter.  What’s interesting is that the slob hunters cover their license plates with napkins and paper.  Technically, this is illegal.  But then again, the slob hunters never let breaking the law get in their way.  They have attacked people without repercussions.  The slob hunters are angry and violent people.

From the Humane Society of the United States.  The Pike Sportmans Club is featured in the HSUS video.

It’s time to take action.  Sign the petition on the side of the page at:

(Just want the readers to know that I am not a vegetarian or vegan and that I eat meat and I respect REAL hunters.  What happens at these pigeon shoots is NOT hunting.  It is gambling.  The NRA is a HUGE sponsor of these bird slaughters.)

The Killing Clubs – UPDATED

This is as bad as dog fighting.

Those involved in pigeon shoots are also known to be involved in other acts of cruelty, like assault.

And then there is District Attorney John T. Adams…

(wow… he mentions Puppies)

You can help put an end to this animal cruelty.  Visit PennsylvaniaShame.com .

UPDATE:

You can read more about this act of animal cruelty here and here.

UPDATE 2:

Pike Sportsmen’s Club no longer holds live pigeon shoots.

Assailant Flees Crime Scene – UPDATE

Not only do the slob hunters show their cowardice by shooting captured birds, they flee the scene of a crime.  If you recognize this person, notify the Pennsylvania State Police.

Is this one of the cases that District Attorney John Adams wants dismissed?  Does Tom Caltigirone and Mike O’Pake support criminal acts against people in Berks County?  What is reason behind District Attorney John Adams, Legislator Tom Caltigirone and Senator Mike O’Pake supporting these pigeon shoots?  Would campaign contributions from the Victory Flyers PAC have anything to do with the continuation of these acts of animal cruelty?  Not only are defenseless pigeons being abused, now people are being attacked.

UPDATE:  District Attorney John Adams received $1000.00 in campaign funds from the PA Victory Flyers PAC.

Puppy Shoots – UPDATED

If this cute little puppy was captured on the streets of New York City, placed in a cage and not allowed to eat or drink water for one week and then taken to a sportman’s club, tossed into the air so that slob hunters could shoot it full of shotgun pellets and then tossed into a trash can while still alive and slowly dying, the residents of Pike Township and Pennsylvania would be up in arms, protesting in the streets and writing letters to the editor and to their State Senators and State Legislators to put a stop to this cruel and inhumane practice.  Well, this is what is happening to pigeons.  They are captured on the streets of New York City, starved and then tossed into the air so that Elmer Fudd can take a shot at these defenseless birds.  This happens two to three times a year at the Pike Sportsmens Club in Pike Township.  The Pike Sportsmens Club no longer holds live pigeon shoots.

Here’s a link to a recent report by Channel 10 News, Philadelphia, Pa.

There is a court challenge to this pigeon shoot which Berks County District Attorney John T. Adams is refusing to persue.  Is he refusing because he receives money from the Flyers Victory Club, a PAC devoted to promoting animal cruelty?

State Senator Mike O’Pake will not support ending live pigeon shoots and State Legislator, Tom Caltigirone will not allow the house bill that bans live pigeon shoots to come to the floor for a vote.

Dogs are considered “man’s best friend” and it is true, that many dogs have saved people’s lives.  Another fact is that pigeons are also friends to man.  Pigeons were used as carriers during the World Wars and the messages that they carried saved people’s lives.  A pigeon is also a religious symbol and represents the Holy Spirit of the Christian Trinity. Read some more facts about pigeons.   The slob hunters are ignorant and pigeon shoots are about money.  This is a gambling event.

We pressured Harrisburg to put an end to puppy mills.  Why isn’t Harrisburg putting an end to live pigeon shoots?  Guess pigeons just aren’t as cute as puppies.

(No puppies were harmed during the writing of this thread.  All the puppies in these pictures come from loving homes)

UPDATE:  Pike Sportmen’s Club no longer holds live pigeon shoots but there are other clubs that still hold these games of animal cruelty.

Slob Hunters Pennsylvania’s Disgrace

It’s time to end these pigeon shoots in Pennsylvania. From the Pocono Record…

Live pigeon shoots should be outlawed. So should tethered turkey shoots. Yet in Pennsylvania, these inhumane activities continue.

State representatives John Siptroth, D-189, and Mike Carroll, D-118, are backing a bill that would ban such practices. State Sen. Pat Browne, R-16, is sponsoring a companion bill, S.B. 843. Both H.B. 1411 and S.B. 843 would ban the use of live animals or fowl for targets at a trap shoot or block shoot. Neither bill would affect traditional hunting; both apply only to shoots in which captive birds are launched from boxes in front of the shooter (pigeon shoots) or are tethered in place so they cannot escape (turkey shoots). The bills would make organizing, operating or conducting such a shoot a summary offense.

Link to PA House Bill 1411…

See the animal cruelty for yourself…

DO SOMETHING. Call or write to your PA State Legislator and tell him or her to support H.B. 1411. Let’s put a stop to this shameful cruelty. Pigeon shoots are a form of gambling just like dog fights and cock fights and should outlawed. Pennsylvania is the only State that doesn’t outlaw pigeon shoots and turkey shoots. Shame on Pennsylvania.
