Pigeon shoot protest halted at Labor Day event near Harrisburg
Animal rights activists disrupted the Labor Day pigeon shoot in Hearns PA locking in a human chain across fields to free birds. About 5 000 pigeons were to be shot as 7 000 to 9 000 spectators watched. Twelve protesters were arrested after locks were cut and three more later for entering fields. Organizers say the event raises about 40 000 for local charities. The Fund For Animals had vowed not to show up but protesters still entered the area and were later charged with trespass and disorderly conduct.
