Animal Advocacy Groups
Council Member Felder reportedly asked numerous local and national animal advocacy organizations to support his bill--only two were willing to do so. Notably, no bird-specific organizations have announced their support of the bill. Please write to the following animal advocacy organizations and urge them to withdraw support for NYC Council Member Felder's recommendations relating to pigeons. Click here for a sample letter.
