In Bushwick, the co-owner of Broadway Pigeon & Pet Supplies, Michael Scott, is facing accusations from animal rights activists of trapping pigeons from Maria Hernandez Park for sale as hunting targets. Approximately 60 activists protested outside the store, claiming that around 15 to 20 pigeons were taken unlawfully earlier this month. Despite the allegations, Scott's brother, Joey, asserts that the store only sells inherited coop pigeons and is not involved in any illegal activities. New York City's regulations prohibit the trapping of public pigeons, prompting the Mayor's Office of Animal Welfare to involve the NYPD's Animal Cruelty Squad.
