PIGEONS come in many shapes and sizes. In Las Vegas, some wear cowboy hats. A viral Facebook video from a Las Vegas resident named Bobby Lee showing pigeons with tiny cowboy hats apparently glued to their heads has led a local pigeon rescue to launch an operation unlike any other. “We got a couple good leads,” said Mariah Hillman, co-founder of the Lofty Hopes pigeon rescue, Tuesday morning. “We found Cluck Norris. We’ve been chasing him all day.” As of Tuesday afternoon, Hillman and her small crew were putting up a trap to capture Cluck Norris the cowboy pigeon in the 1100 block of Century Gardens Drive, 1 kilometer from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus. “It looks like glue,” Hillman said after her daughter got close enough to see the hat situation atop Cluck’s head. “There are feathers stuck to the hat.” After Cluck is captured, Hillman will attempt to remove the hat. “Hopefully it’s not impeding his vision,” she said of what appeared to be a joke at the expense of an animal’s well-being. “It’s a living being. Every living being has a right to his own life.” (SD-Agencies) |
