Swiss army pursues end of world last carrier pigeon unit
In Geneva, a pro pigeon group circulates a petition against the Defense Ministry plan to pension off the carrier pigeon unit after 77 years. If 100000 signatures are collected, a referendum could enshrine the service in the constitution. Pigeon breeder Ulrich Frei protests, calling the move technically and strategically wrong.
