The New York City Bar Association recently sent a letter to the Pennsylvania General Assembly in support of Pennsylvania legislation (HB 1411; SB 843) that would ban live-pigeon shoots.
Here’s a link to the letter:

As the letter states, Pennsylvania’s pigeon shoots are creating problems not only in Pennsylvania, but also in neighboring states such as New York.
I strongly encourage Pennsylvania citizens to contact their representatives and tell them that you support House Bill 1411 and Senate Bill 843. For an easy way to find contact information for your state legislators, you can follow this Humane Society link:
