Posted on 12/10/2019 10:17:18 AM PST by MNDude

KVVU reported that a local animal rescue and pigeon advocacy group known as Lofty Hopes has serious concerns about the negative impacts the hats will have on the pigeons.

"At first, I was like, oh my God that's cute!” Mariah Hillman told KVVU. "Then, I was like, wait a minute – how did they get those hats on there?“

Hillman runs the animal advocacy organization, whose slogan is, “a pigeon positive movement.”

While the identity of the person putting the hats on the pigeon remains unknown, Hillman told KVVU her organization is on a mission to track down the birds and remove their hats.

Misuse of the word “like” makes the speaker sound stupid.

The thought of those environuts trying to catch pigeons and remove their teeny, tiny cowboy hats is hilarious.

I was just in Las Vegas. They were having a rodeo there. Many people walking around in cowboy hats and boots.

I think it would be more useful if someone put tiny diapers on them instead.

1. Never heard of putting hats on pigeons

2. Never heard of the pigeon advocacy group known as Lofty Hopes.

3. So who benefits? I would guess Lofty Hopes! so there’s the answer.....

Not just pigeons. They're going after people in Congress too!

Like the lady said, the hats are cute as can be, but you wonder how someone managed to put them there.
They actually look like little Fedoras, like Sam Spade in the Maltese Falcon.
