Birdman accused of stealing pigeons in East Village park winds up caged again on assault charge | amNewYork
Briefly

Dwayne Daley, a 67-year-old man from Bushkill, PA, was arrested in New York City for allegedly using a net to catch pigeons. After initially facing animal cruelty charges, he was rearrested on more serious charges related to an assault from 2021. Animal rights activists are relieved by the police action, which they hope will deter similar illegal activities. Daley's van, found during his apprehension, contained numerous caged pigeons, leading to concerns about the treatment of these birds and the illegal poaching industry.
This arrest not only prevents Dwayne Daley from harming more animals but also sends a message to others that animal cruelty will not be tolerated.
Activists believe that cruel poachers like Daley violate laws and exploit vulnerable birds for profit, resulting in widespread animal suffering.
