Last week, when someone at the Wing Pointe canned hunt club took a rifle shot at our remote controlled aircraft (called the Angel), they probably thought they were hurting our cause.

What they didn't realize was that the story of the shoot down would be covered internationally, and bring so much attention to live pigeon shoots that Pennsylvania newspapers have published editorials calling for them to be banned.

Predictably, the PA State Police have been unable to find the shooter.

Live Bird Shoots Should Be Banned (Poconorecord.com)

Arranged pigeon shoots amount to little more than animal cruelty. Hundreds of live, captive birds are shipped en masse in small cages to a "sport" shoot for calculated release.

Now you have a shooter trying to destroy valuable property simply because it would record the truth of this repugnant activity. Credit also goes to the Showing Animals Respect group for persevering.

Pennsylvanians should be surprised, however, that their state government continues to be an outlier - the only state left that sanctions such barbaric cruelty to animals.

We will keep you updated on this story. Yet again, the actions of pigeon shooters backfires against them.
