Pigeon-shooting
Pigeon shooting is the sport of shooting live pigeons. It was widely popular in the nineteenth century, when it was called Trap shooting (the pigeons would be released from traps). Most countries had banned live pigeon trap shooting as a sport by the 1920s, and today the term is mostly used for different types of decoy shooting.
Pigeon shooting is one of the factors that contributed to the extinction of the passenger pigeon, thought to be the most abundant bird species ever,.〔http://web.stanford.edu/group/stanfordbirds/text/essays/Passenger_Pigeon.html〕〔
〕 It went extinct within a human generation, with the last bird dying in 1914.
In the USA, trap shooting of live pigeons remains legal only in Pennsylvania,〔http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/xconnect/v4/i2/t/leo.html〕 where a 2014 bill for banning pigeon shooting〔http://www.bornfreeusa.org/legislation.php?p=4432&more=1〕 was opposed by the National Rifle Association. Legislators were apparently frightened and let the bill expire.〔
〕 In 2015, Pennsylvania Senator Patrick M. Browne re-introduced Senate Bill 715 〔(Pennsylvania General Assembly Regular Session 2015-2016 Senate Bill 715 )〕 to amend Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) to further provide for the offense of animal cruelty.
