List of Stringfoot pigeon groups:
@shyvas Thanks for posting about pigeons being incapacitated by string around their feet, and people helping them. I knew about windows sometimes being a problem for birds, but hadn't thought about loose string! I guess those old ads about how "every litter bit hurts" are truer than I imagined.
Investigations over 'disturbing' footage from Cornish dairy farm
The owners of Davidstow creamery have suspended use of milk from at least one farm over these videos which 'offend the values of our customers, consumers and employees'. WARNING: DISTRESSING FOOTAGE
Anyone can help these poor pidges by removing string/thread/hair from their wee little feet. I can do it, so anyone eager to help can do it.
There are many groups in various towns in the UK who meet up on a regular basis and patrol towns. They remove the string and if necessary take some of the pidges to rehabbers.
I managed to destring 3 pidges during the course of one afternoon when I was in Brighton.
I also managed to destring one over here with the help of a man. I was trying to catch a poor pidge who had both feet stringfooted plus a huge twig that was upside down and attached to one leg. It couldn't walk properly and I was worried that they would get predated or stuck in a drainpipe. Anyway, the man caught it from behind and we both worked on it for over half an hour. We were so relieved when it quickly flew off with two brand new little feet.
There is also a free online workshop on how to destring pidges. I have posted it in the AR section of the animal forum.

It's Bat Appreciation Week. It popped up on the computer and I tried to include a link, but for some reason, I couldn't.
I am a member of the Humane Farming Association/HFA. They are working to close down factory farms, and provide refuges for some farmed animals. Animals grown for food have no rights at all in USA. They are treated cruelly at factory farms in USA. They are legally known as "food animals" and do not even have the rights as other US animals.
For four decades, HFA has led the charge against farm-animal abuse and the very real dangers factory farming pose to our health and to our environment.
From groundbreaking legislation, anti-cruelty investigations and prosecutions, legal action, and direct care for abused animals, your support enables us to ensure that farm animals receive the care and legal protection they so desperately need and deserve.
These are just some of the reasons the Humane Farming Association is known as the nation’s most effective and credible farm-animal protection organization. We really do need your help to keep up the fight!

Students from Skegness Academy have created a horse made from purple poppies, to remember animals killed in wartime - including the estimated eight million horses who were killed during World War One.
Squeak's gorgeous nest! He's just a sweet pidge and always building a nest.
For those who don't remember him; he's the very seriously injured pidge that was found on the streets of Brighton, over two years ago. He was a juvenile and we don't know what happened to him. Justin welcomed him into his home and gave him multiple daily massages with special ointment plus physio and vitamins. I was gobsmacked how he sat perfectly still during his treatment and never budged.
We thought that his feathers would never grow back. However, the above pic tells another story. Justin also didn't realise that Squeaks now thinks that the former is 'dad'!
Nobody has managed to save this abused dog in Brighton. He was abused by his drug addict owner and now the state is going to kill him:
