In a plot more suited to a children’s cartoon series from 1969 Dastardly and Muttley in their flying machines trying to “Catch the pigeon,” And Pigeon suspected of espionage because China was finally liberated after eight months in captivitythanks to the intervention animal rights crusaders, HEEL.
This week’s release of the bird from the clutches of Indian officials is the climax of a bizarre story that has taken the world by storm.
“PETA India swung into action after discovering that the pigeon had been kept at the Bai Sakarbai Dinshaw Petit Animal Hospital (BSDPHA) in Parel for a staggering eight months.”
The pigeon’s plight increased in May last year when it was arrested near the Mumbai port and its wings bore mysterious writings resembling Chinese characters, according to PETA. The suspicious markings raised fears of espionage, prompting authorities to imprison the bird and undergo a medical examination at the BSDPHA in Mumbai as part of an ongoing investigation.
Interestingly, this was not the first case of bird intrigue; the pigeon was allegedly detained in 2016 for carrying a threatening message aimed at Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
PETA quickly intervened, urging Mumbai police to expedite the pigeon’s release, culminating in its emancipation at BSDPHA, where retired Colonel Dr. BB Kulkarni, chief medical superintendent, presided over the bird’s release, CNN reported.
Initial reports suggested the pigeon had been handed over to the Bombay Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, but details remained unclear at the time of reporting. CNN’s attempts to reach the Bombay SPCA for clarification did not yield a response.
While the plight of the pigeon captured the global spotlight, its role as a potential spy animal is only the tip of the iceberg! Evil and double!
In 2019, the world was captivated by the story of Hvaldimir, a harnessed beluga whale believed to be from the Russian military, sparking speculation about military whale espionage. Unlike his pod-dwelling counterparts, Hvaldimir’s solitary travels and playful interactions with humans are raising worrying questions about his welfare, attracting the attention of animal activists and marine experts.
