       dude if you bird is acting up give it to me!!!!!!!!! ill pay
       shipping you pay for the box........
       its not right to kill anything! who do you think you are to kill
       a slow learning bird........ some of us picked up on math,
       science ect very slowly and we are not dead. but with extra
       attention we eventually learned it right..... give them a
       chance, give them to me.
       937-312-7283
       God gave them for us to enjoy not to kill.

       Hi Marvin, with all due respect, culling is not cruelty. Might I
       suggest you spend more time reading the archives on this site
       and others to fully inform yourself on this topic. The debate
       has been had a hundred times. Respectfully...

       Hey Marvin.....Get a GRIP...  culling has NOTHING to do with
       CRUELTY... however it is done.  Sounds like just
       another"bleeding heart". Get a life

       The further we move from an agrarian society the more often we
       are going to have to deal with this.  There are so many people
       out there that have never had a hand in food preparation and
       preservation, including the butchering of livestock.   I learned
       at an early age how to pop a neck in rabbits, chickens and to
       quickly put down a hog and a steer.  Having said that, to-date
       i've not become a serial killer or rapist, though once I did
       forget to pay a parking fine.
       Seriously, anyone that breeds stock must be prepared for those
       individuals that don't come up to snuff; whether it be the wrong
       color, doesn't perform, is sick or lame.  To keep everything
       that is bred alive and in your loft isn't good animal husbandry.

       Hey Windjammer, and all the rest of you:
       What if when you die God culls you because you didnt do
       something perfectly.... I know all of you guys want mercy but if
       you never show any how can you expect it.......
       And just to let all of you guys know im not new to the bird
       world ive been in it for a while. i just like the opinons of
       others so im new to the site not the game..... ive been around
       champion lofts all across the world...... Yes THE WORLD and
       culling is not as normal as you guys may think........
       Most guys give the birds to beginner flyers or just let it go
       and nature will kill it: hawks, falcons, cats ect.....
       And as far as a bleeding heart @windjammer whats wrong with it
       bro. I bet you aint that tough with everything.......
       ITS SIMPLE JUST DONT BREED THE BIRD AND GET IT OUT OF OUR STOCK
       KIT........ BUT DO WHANT YOU WANT

       Marve sorry to say but it's lot more humane to pop it's little
       neck than have a cat or a BOP cripple it and have it hide under
       a bush to suffer and die.You mentioned giving it to a beginner I
       am a beginner and many people gave me good birds they don't want
       there name ruined buy giving someone culls.Dennis ;)

       Marvin for a person who claims to have been around birds for a
       while as you have said above, you sure do ask some daft
       questions  ???  And it seems your getting even dafter answers
       from OldSkool ;D The blind leading the blind ::)

       Respectfully Marvin, I don't know of a single person in animal
       husbandry that doesn't cull let alone pigeons.
       As far as rollers go, every single person who wants to "breed
       better rollers" cull and cull quite hard they do. The method of
       culling is up to you. Some give them away to people who don't
       care about about performance, color, etc, some drop them off
       somewhere while others take care of it themselves.
       Marvin, you said you've been to many of the top roller lofts in
       the world and it's not a common practice? I'd say that those
       lofts were either not what you thought they were or exactly what
       you thought they were.
       There probably isn't a single person competing in rollers that
       does not cull and there isn't a single backyard breeder (which
       everyone who breeds rollers belong to) who has good birds that
       does not cull at all. I am a beginner, a backyarder, have never
       competed, and I've had to cull to keep only what I need.

       Ahhh, if I may add. I have never heard of anyone enjoying having
       to cull anything, and most don't even talk about it, as it is
       unpleasant.It is done
       for many different reasons,but never just for the sake of
       cruelty.
       
       We have to mind ourlofts as we see fit,and it simply is not fair
       to come under fire for doing so. I have lived off the land all
       of my life,and culling is a reality for me,and not just when it
       comes down to birds. It also extends to livestock as well,though
       often times that is done more as an act of mercy. I hold no
       disdain nor disrespect for those who do not wish to cull, but
       please do not think those of us who do for whatever reason,as
       unkind,it is not that simple.  :-\
