POLICE are appealing for information after 55 pigeons were “throttled” in their lofts overnight on Thursday.
The racing pigeons each had their necks broken after the lofts at an allotment at Malleny Croft, near Currie Rugby Club, Edinburgh, were forced open.
Owner James Dickson said he was devastated to find every single bird dead when he went to lofts on Friday morning to feed the pigeons.
