What a disaster.

Just read in the RP that the American Housier One Loft Race loft has been burnt down and all the occupants lost just days before the last race.


The photograph shows the loft alight from end to end which suggests it may have been none accidental.

Does not bare thinking about and if found to be arson there is not punishment enough for the culprit/culprits.

Feel very sorry for all concerned, hope it was accidental.

Regards.

both ends don't sound accidental eh...what sort of person does something like that ,only one punishment for such wickedness

how could this be accidental , got to be arson surely ........

Does seem strange...

4 dogs died also. Somebody got ticked off. Big money race.

Afraid money ruins everything it touches, including our sport.

Another showing that the worlds gone mad and getting worst.
Many years ago had a brother - in -laws who's cousin would pinch pigeons to order, via the ring number. Bad that!  Had a Uncle, a very good fancier from the distance and won san Sabastian … Offered a colossal amount of money - would have been a world record back in the 50's. The loft manager of a wealthy fancier came and went three times trying to persuade him to sale. Nigh last thing  said was 'Best take the money … you never know what is around the corner, or what it might breed … could be duds, or find it dead in the morning;. It was found dead in the morning. Just that one! Died from neck trouble.
