Builder of Oakland's Fox Theater Once Imprisoned For 'White Slavery'
Kidnapping victim Jaycee Lee Dugard and her two children were not the only residents of the tents and huts in the Garridos' backyard in Antioch: there were also five cats, a Labrador mix, a Rottweiler mix, three cockatiels, a pigeon and a mouse. Jaycee Lee and her daughters are now eager to get their pets back, and have been speaking to Contra Costa Animal Control who have been caring for the animals. We're not clear on what the delay is in getting them back -- not like there's any evidence hidden in the cats -- but we just have to say right now that while we hope for all the best for Jaycee Lee, we have to draw the line at keeping a pigeon for a pet. That's just fucking disgusting.

now, now...these may not be the SF pigeons who enjoy dining upon the recently upchucked contents of a dope-sick fiend on Market Street.
These could be high-end "thoroughbreds of the sky" a.k.a. racing pigeons!!
And as you can see from the website - Kids LOVE Pigeon Racing ... and ... Pigeon flying is great for the ENTIRE Family!

Question: why do so many SF pigeons have missing feet?
I know that sounds like a setup to a riddle but it's not. It's just something I've observed.
I had always assumed the missing feet were due to the proliferation of pigeon spikes on awnings and signage all over this town.
Also, please note that 67% of NBC Bay Area readers remain inexplicably "Sad" about Jaycee wanting her pets back.
C'mon now, why is the SFist such a pigeon hater? Maybe they rescued it as a baby in the compound and once it grew up it became the pet.
As for the missing feet: tangled up in wire/string garbage or a small price to pay to escape a predator attack.
No worries, Oprah will have them all reunited on her show.
