Pigeon Accused of Being a Chinese Spy is Freed After Eight Months in a Cage
Dear friends - I am not making this up and cannot find any information to indicate this is a hoax.
As ridiculous as this may seem, a pigeon was accused of being a Chinese spy and was detained for eight months by brain dead police in Mumbai India who heartlessly kept it locked in a cage the whole time!!!
Here’s an excerpt from the article:
Espionage is such a big deal, nowadays, that not even the birds are escaping close scrutiny….
“The bird was detained by officers after it was captured in May last year near a port in Mumbai, news agency Press Trust of India reported.
It was found with two rings tied to its legs featuring words that appeared to be Chinese.
Detectives suspected the pigeon was involved in espionage and took it in, before later sending it to Mumbai’s Bai Sakarbai Dinshaw Petit Hospital for Animals.”…
Indian authorities took their sweet time, but after eight long months in captivity, it emerged that the pigeon ‘was an open-water racing bird from Taiwan which had escaped and flown to India’.
Cool bird! Suspected spy, actual race pigeon who took a wrong turn and landed in jail.
It was then sent to the Bombay Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, where doctors finally set it free this week.
“India has also previously detained the birds over security fears. In 2020 suspicious police in Indian-controlled Kashmir captured a pigeon that belonged to a Pakistani fisherman.
An investigation found the bird was not a spy, and had simply flown across the border between the countries.
