There had been studies all morning that baskets of Dutch pigeons had been forgotten in a shed someplace, and that useless pigeons had been discovered.
PIPA contacted the organizer of the worldwide flight from Agen, the Brabantse Unie … by way of Alex Rans. At first he was not conscious of it and thought it was ‘faux information’. Aside from 1 pigeon injured because of transport, which was introduced again to Belgium by the organiser, and for which the fan has already been advised the place (from which transporter) it was picked up pigeon … he did not know something.
When extra info emerged, Mr. Rans contacted Mr. Mickel Roumans – the chairman of the ZLU – who might solely verify the unlucky story. This might concern 5 baskets from the native Beek (from NL) that weren’t observed – not within the transporter’s warehouse as beforehand reported in a message acquired – however in a Limburg division truck. Possibly with out meals or drink.
Affected fanciers had been contacted and had been capable of retrieve their pigeons within the meantime. About 5 pigeons could be useless. It’s mentioned that the ZLU is planning a dialogue about this, which remains to be being put ahead.
One other unhappy story, which as soon as once more places our pigeon sport in a unfavorable gentle.
ZLU press launch
Agen press launch.
On Monday, June 24, the pigeons from Agen had been basketed, collected from the constructing and brought to the gathering level in Olen. There the complete baskets are transferred to Bauwens pigeon wagons and the remaining baskets are collected into full baskets that are then loaded into Bauwens carts.
To make issues worse, immediately, Sunday morning, Mr. Frank Jacobs from the Limburg Area mentioned that there have been 5 ZLU baskets within the truck used to gather the pigeons from Agen in Limburg with pigeons in them. At the moment, Mr. Jacobs instantly known as our DB and went to a vet about one of the best ways to look after the pigeons. Based mostly on the basket lists, the 5 baskets from affiliation 2404 got here from Beek.
The house owners of those pigeons had been instantly checked and knowledgeable of what had occurred. These fanciers got here to the division warehouse in Geleen and picked up the pigeons there. The pigeons we took from the hampers appeared to be in good situation. Nevertheless, sadly 5 pigeons didn’t survive.
Apparently one thing went unsuitable when the Limburg truck was loaded in Olen. It’s clear that this could by no means have occurred and we perceive the emotional reactions of householders. The ZLU deeply regrets the state of affairs and gives honest apologies.
A phrase of due to Mr. Jacobs responded attentively and took care of the pigeons correctly.
ZLU board.
