Philadelphia Gun Club Leaves Birds to Die Slow, Painful Deaths

For more than a hundred years, the rich, politically connected, narcissistic members of the Philadelphia Gun Club have shot live pigeons. Clay pigeons apparently aren't good enough for these cruel and cowardly individuals, who do everything they can - including filing bogus lawsuits - to escape being held responsible for their actions.

Too bad Pennsylvania is so corrupt that no one will stand up to these spoiled rich boys other than an out-of-state animal protection group. Pennsylvania's many dozens of humane groups, the local, county and state police, and the District Attorney all turn a blind eye. 

SHowing Animals Respect and Kindness has documented and exposed the cruelty of the PGC's live pigeon shoots for eight years, and we will continue to do so until the mass killing stops.

Children Caught Torturing Birds at PA Pigeon Shoot

On November 9th and 11th, 2017, SHARK documented extreme animal cruelty committed at live pigeon shoots held at the Wing Pointe canned hunting club in Berks County, Pennsylvania. This cruelty included birds having their heads torn off while still alive and living birds being dumped into garage barrels.

This video is from November 11th and was taken using SHARK’s drone. On this day, Wing Pointe used young boys as trappers, or workers who collect dead and injured birds from the killing field. One of the boys appeared to be scared of the birds and wound up torturing them. The other boy had no problem tearing the heads off of live birds. Using children to torture birds is absolutely wrong and violate the law. Wing Pointe and it’s owner, Joseph Solana, must be held accountable for these violations of morality and the law.

Watch the video from November 9: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi_EZ... Please contact PA Governor Tom Wolf and tell him to take action now to stop these barbaric shoots: https://www.governor.pa.gov/contact/ 717-787-2500

SHARK Exposes the Cruelty & Cowardice of Canned Hunting

On December 30, 2015, SHARK documented and rescued birds at a canned hunt held in Pennsylvania, where cage-raised birds were hand-thrown into the air and shot for fun. Three different types of birds were used for this slaughter; pheasants, pigeons and chukars.  We had access to an adjoining property and were just a few yards away from one of the shooting stations, where we filmed the horrors that unfolded. Watch the video below:
