On August 1-4, 2013 a massive four-day long live pigeon shoot is planned at the notorious Wing Pointe canned hunt club in Hamburg, PA. Live pigeon shoots are where emaciated pigeons are launched out of small boxes and shot. Many pigeons will only be wounded, escaping to neighboring properties to suffer for hours or even days before dying of their injuries, exposure, predation, hunger or thirst.
The owner of Wing Pointe is Joseph Solana. Solana is also the owner of Carlton Pools, and he has used Carlton Pools vehicles and equipment on the Wing Pointe grounds to support his pigeon shoots.
To expose Carlton Pools connection to the mass slaughter of pigeons for fun, SHARK will be protesting at both of Carlton Pools' New Jersey locations on Saturday, August 3, 2013. Protesters will have an iPad on hand to show customers exactly what happens at a pigeon shoot.
Date: Saturday, August 3rd, 2013
First Location - Toms River
Carlton Pools
1740 Lakewood Rd. Toms River, NJ
Time: 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Second Location - Branchburg
Carlton Pools
1035 Rt. 202, Branchburg, NJ
Time: 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM
“We believe that customers of Carlton Pools have a right to know the company’s connection to unbelievable animal cruelty," states Stuart Chaifetz, NJ Coordinator for SHARK. Chaifetz will be running both NJ protest events. "If Mr. Solana is going to use Carlton Pools to support his bloodthirsty hobby, then he has made it part and parcel of this debate."

Recently, television legend Bob Barker narrated a video calling for a specific law to ban pigeon shoots. You can view that video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfPHvSJLuPc
SHARK has documented extreme cruelty at Wing Pointe. You can view one video highlighting grotesque cruelty at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scWjSf3A9Y4
The victims of the mass slaughter will be utterly wasted. Video evidence of this waste can be viewed at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLu4PxCC6qw
