AAS got an anonymous phone call that a market on East Hastings Street, is keeping about 10 pigeons in a wire cage, that one is dead and the others appeared to him to be suffering. That is all he said. If anyone has time to go to the market, and if you agree that this is not humane, to take photos and report back to me. Please email me for the name and address of the market: animaladvocates@telus.net

A bird rescuer just told me that the Wildlife Branch in Victoria considers pigeons to be vermin. I am looking into which is the best agency to put a stop to what may be live birds being sold for meat.
