Poor Pigeons
Submitted by Alafista on Monday, 19 May 20087 Comments
Thirty six pigeons were suddenly found abandoned with their wings clipped on a riverbank in Saitama prefecture.
Police investigators said the tips of the left wings of the birds had been clipped so they couldn’t fly, but that there was no skeletal damage.
Police said there was evidence that the pigeons’ legs had been tagged, and there was a possibility that they had been used as carrier pigeons. They suspect that their owner had become unable to keep them and had clipped their wings to prevent them from returning.

Poor pigeons, now what can they do if they couldn’t fly. Just walk around waiting for people to feed them?
And how come in this day and age people are still using carrier pigeons?
Why does it seem like there’s an anime/manga-style picture for everything… I mean… pigeons.
Hey, at least they are alive, compared to the millions of culled pigeons out on the street.
Oh forgot to mention that wing clipping is temporary, it’s sort of like clipping your nails. It’ll grow back.
No idea why he didnt just give them to an animal charity place or somthing like that, though living in england its hard to find sympathy for pigeons coz they are such a dam nusiance… stealing my seeds and breads!!
But yea wing clipping wont leave em flightless forever and i dont know why the guy didnt use common sense to realise if they hadnt been found they would eventually fly back to him anyway after their wings grow back, silly man lol
KITT!!! dont lie!!! pidgeons are awesome!!!! they are like EVERYWHERE lol, they are fun to watch…..
@ IcyStorm: Thats one of my distinct style for this blog. No matter what kind of story, I would try to find some relavant cute anime related picture to attached to it. ^_^
@ tj han: Oh, I didn’t know that they would grow back … interesting.
@ KiTT: I guess the person must have been as ignorant as me. I also didn’t know that. haha
@ Dee: You probably wouldn’t say that if they pooped on you =P
I love the anime picture
its more fun to read. Haha He shouldn’t have clipped their wings though. Its like a fish who can’t swim. So sad haha
