You wonder why pigeon fanciers and their causes don't get public backing

Because they cannot back up themselves or a cause they should support

For example

http://forum.pigeonbasics.com/m-1246183959/s-120/

You can't post these links on their forums

.http://sobsbs.forumotion.net/portal.htm

http://wwspb.forumotion.com/forum.htm

but you can post these

that is the trouble with this sport ,everyone wants top job ,wants to make the rules play it my way or no way .

This needs to come from maybe a panel of people from all pigeon unions rpra shu welsh irsh nehu etc. forget the song birds concentrate on the most important issue PIGEON RACING OR /FANCIERS BIRDS ,sadly the people of the above will only become involved if theres money in it for them to pocket .

we need high profile people to fight our corner .

you hit the nail if money involved lets do it pob is underway supposably but why would they need money why money to get up and running costs nothing ????anyway the sport im afraid deserves what it gets i give up and will go breed finches
