After a quick google i learned what a pigeon shoot is. But what do they do with the pigeons after they kill them?

I can't say as I am against this bill. It just seems cruel.

They use them to make pigeon pie.

What do you do with rats after you kill them?

If they eat them then hey it's all cool jack. If they just kill them just to kill them that seems cruel in my opinion but I never tried it so I'm no one to judge.
I wonder if ceasefire will consider this a victory. I'm sure they will because any bill that has to deal with guns or shooting is directly associated to gun violence according to them. I'm sure Jaquan and jameysis enjoy a fine pigeon shoot at their sportmans club on their free time from the crips gang. Ceasefire are filled of idiots.

Our elected officials in DC eat their own.

Next comes the ban on killing chuggers while training hunting dogs. Then comes preserve pheasant hunting. Then hunting period.

I wonder where they get the pigeons. A breeding pair of meat pigeons (squab) is more than a 100 dollars, for anything but the most common bred it is 200.

Squab was once a major American food source, especially during the great depression. I'd looked into keeping them as they are perhaps the most successful (small) free range food sources ever domesticated. The cost of a breeding pair put me off tho. I can buy a lot of chickens, even exotic ones for 200 bucks.
