From the Breeze:
A Torrance attorney who says he has devoted himself to rescuing pigeons was arrested Wednesday after animal control officers raided his house and discovered at least 300 caged birds, both dead and alive, in filthy conditions.About 120 dead pigeons filled bags and boxes alongside Gerard Redmond Enright Jr.'s house in the 200 block of Via Los Altos. Some others found alive in pet carriers were immediately euthanized because they were sick or malnourished, said Patrick Wren, administrator in charge of Torrance's animal control department....
"There's droppings everywhere," Wren said. "I'm wearing a mask. That says it all."
Yes, the bird case was handled by Mr. Wren.
