Target: Alvin Bragg, District Attorney of New York County
Goal: Punish person or persons responsible for death of domesticated pigeon to fullest extent.
An unusual sight was recently seen in a New York City park: a pink pigeon. Concerned by the strange display, a good Samaritan took the pigeon, who was later named Flamingo, to an animal rescue shelter. Tragically, Flamingo died from what was apparently an act of unintentional yet fatal animal cruelty.
Rescuers believe Flamingo was a domesticated bird that was dyed and released during a gender reveal party or some other type of celebration. The bird’s young age already would have made it very difficult for him to survive in the wild. In fact, he was reportedly severely malnourished when first discovered. But the dye that had been put on him made his plight even worse. The toxic substance could not be washed off of Flamingo, and the damage done to his respiratory system as a result likely played a key role in his death.
Whatever the reason, the responsible party should be held accountable for this irresponsible and cruel behavior. Sign the petition below to urge accountability in this troubling incident.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Bragg,
Ignorance is no excuse for violating the law and causing harm. This belief should apply to reckless and often lethal abuses committed against animals that may, at first glance, not appear to be cruelty. The recent case of a very young pigeon found malnourished and dyed pink in a park is a tragic example.
This animal may have been dyed and released as part of some party or celebration, but these circumstances do not mitigate the damage that followed. The pigeon was by all accounts not a wild animal but domesticated, and therefore entitled to protection by his caretakers. Instead, he was essentially a baby thrown out into the wild and covered with a toxic substance that seemingly choked him to death. If this outcome is not cruelty, then what does qualify?
The New York City police seemingly agree, as their animal cruelty division has opened an investigation. If a suspect or suspects are identified, please prosecute this case and send a decisive message about the limits of permissible behavior under the guise of no-harm fun.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

This is going way too far!! Stop the abuse and cruelty to make a point!
I agree. These people should stop making animals pawns in a stupid game of decorating events by coloring animsks
STUPID PEOPLE!
This earth and her animals will be so much better off when people are gone – I honestly hope it’s sooner than later. Animals ask for none of this and just have the misfortune of having to live with people. A damn gender reveal, really? Who cares what you’re going to have? Idiots having another idiot! Just what this world needs.
Quite agree.
TOTALLY AGREE IGNORANT IDIOTS THAT HAVE NO BUSINESS HAVING A CHILD IF YOU ABUSE AN ANIMAL YOU WILL ABUSE HUMANS!!!
Agreed! The gender of a baby is never more important than the welfare of an animal!
WTF is wrong with people – leave the god damn animals alone you f*ckers are ignorant beyond belief. The sooner you bastards die off the better for all.
I agrrr. String them up
How horrible, taking a happy moment of gender reveal and turning it into animal abuse/murder, glad Im not the one who will remember the moment overshadowed by an animals death.
MAY ALL AND EVERY GENDER REVEAL WORLDWIDE IN THE FUTURE BE DARKENED WITH EVIL, TRAUMA AND DEATH FOR EVERY FAMILY!!
And I hope this baby ends up with the same fate as the bird, or severely disabled, and destroying that whole cockroach family!!! It’s just another stupid human? Who cares!!! We need some population control on this planet!!! Starting with the Stupids like this!!!
What kind of people do this to an innocent bird, just to push their own agenda on. Evil!!!
Freaks
I don’t think that some people even know the harm they do. And sadly, do not even care. How do we educate billions of people? Social media maybe one of the ways, but this might just lead to more idiots wanting to do the same thing. I just saw a sign that stated “ I WISH COMMON SENSE WAS MORE COMMON”. Isn’t it the truth?!
We can’t educate humans so we need to exterminate humans!!
Animal Abusers. Pedophiles. Rapists, Human Traffickers. Purge the Human Race!!! If we just eliminated them from society it would be a start!!
You can’t fix stupid. You can sedate it. But it still wakes up. Maybe up the dose!!
Malnourishment is considered neglect and that is abuse punishable as a crime. True,
Common sense isn’t as common as it use to be. Another saying that ought to return is, “Book smart living dumb.”
My dear Aunt (since departed), use to tell me that ‘I graduated from the school of “hard knocks,” ‘ I think most people nowadays drop out of the school of hard knocks and just check out.”
BE KIND TO ALL LIVING CREATURES WHO ARE SENTIENT BEINGS !
Ya know what? This is a perfect microcosm of why & how humans are killing the planet and themselves. PEOPLE ARE TOO STUPID AND SELFISH TO THINK ABOUT LOGICAL CONSEQUENCES, THEY JUST WANNA DO WHAT’S FUN (OR PROFITABLE).
Somebody ought to paint these fucking idiots…with TAR AND FEATHERS.
I like it
…a ridiculous situation that never should have occurred. Why would someone impose their will on a creature to the extent of insisting it become an ambassador of human sexual freedom or one’s sexual preferences? There are more effective ways to express one’s beliefs w/o involving innocent creatures.
absolute IGNORNANT phuckin DISGRACE…SIGNED!
Who the hell cares what these idiots are having! Idiots having more idiots.
Pathetic! But what else is new?
jerks!!…
I totally agree with the comments. Idiots bringing even more idiots into this world when what is needed is population control!
The stupid assholes that did this should be punished for animal cruelty.
Well these gender reveal whatever the hell they are aint too smart. ASSHOLES!!!!
NO ONE SHOULD EVER DYE AN ANIMALS AND/OR ITS SKIN/FUR IN ANY COLOR AS WELL AS TARTOOING ANY CATS WITHOUT FUR BECAUSE THIS IS ANIMAL CRUELTY & ABUSE!!!
FIND THAT IDIOT AND DYE HIS/HER ALL OF HER/HIS HAIR AND SKIN WHATEVER COLOR THAT THEY USED TO ABUSE AND BR CRUEL TO THAT ANIMALS!! USE PERMANENT DYE ON ALL ANIMAL ABUSERS!!!!!
Gender reveals generally do more harm than good. Get over yourselves. Stupidity caused this pigeons death. You will probably suck at raising your child.
This takes the cake for stupidity!!
Agree all comments don’t care what you want too do but leave animals alone bunch of fucking idoits.
Seriously: FUCK YOUR GENDER REVEALS. So goddamn stupid and unnecessary. Fuck anyone who does this sick-ass twisted shit. To all the perps: May you and your ugly crotch monkeys become sterile and live very short lives. Your gene pools are SHIT. Your DNA should be outlawed, and your family tree should be mandated to end with you. Worthless scumbag motherfuckers.
