Pigeon First Aid & Companion Animal Care

Sun, Aug 16, 6:00 PM

From Direct Action Everywhere: People Who Love Animals

4.9

What if you could spend one afternoon directly changing the lives of animals who desperately need our help? Join us in San Francisco for a unique, hands-on experience where you'll learn how to rescue injured pigeons, provide life-changing first aid, and support companion animals living alongside our unhoused neighbors. Every day, pigeons in San Francisco suffer from a hidden danger: string, fishing line, hair, and other debris that wrap tightly around their toes and feet, causing immense pain, infections, and sometimes the loss of entire limbs. During this event, we'll teach you how to safely spot, catch, and help these incredible birds before releasing them back to their families and flocks. We'll also be carrying food and toys to share with companion animals belonging to our unhoused neighbors because compassion doesn't stop with one species. This event is about building a kinder city for all animals. Whether you're a lifelong animal advocate or simply someone who wants to make a difference, this is your chance to turn empathy into action. You'll leave with new skills, amazing stories, and the incredible feeling that comes from knowing you made someone's world a little better. No experience necessary. We'll provide all the training and supplies. Just bring: **Compassion** **Comfortable shoes** A willingness to help animals who are too often ignored Come discover just how much good one afternoon can do. ARRIVE ON TIME! We’ll begin promptly at 11am with a brief about essential safety and training. If you arrive late, we will be out and about and hard to contact and find so please be on time. **Meeting location: Powell Street BART Station** Questions? Contact Carla at carla@dxe.io Learn more about pigeon first aid: [https://dxe.io/pigeonfirstaid](https://dxe.io/pigeonfirstaid?fbclid=IwcGRvZgFleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETF6eFNKNFhtTWxmZWFSbktuc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHkZRbCNcYyVCYyhw4sZwW242YwwemBZHx4_mizrEnvMUNDaofU_NVw9hVBt8_aem_yAVLXaKKEouYGg7jW3rkqg) Come learn a unique skill, meet kindhearted people, and help make San Francisco a safer place for pigeons and companion animals alike. \-\-\- Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) is a grassroots network of animal rights activists.
