Pauley: <br />This letter is to confirm our telephone conversation stating my belief <br />that the racing pigeons owned by Hr Vincent Meyer do not create a human health <br />hazzard for the residence of Houndaview. These birds will be confined to <br />aloft except when released for racing. Therefore these pigeons are lose <br />likely to harbor and spread zoonotic microrganisms than the ferral and <br />migratory birds in Noundsview. <br />Because these pigeons are almost always confined, they will not create a <br />fecal contamination or soiling problem that many people associate with <br />pigeons. <br />For these reasons I see no reason for the city council not to grant Mr. <br />Meyer a permit to keep his racing pigeons under the conditions he has <br />specified. <br />actively, <br />Newman DVN PhD <br />Professor <br />Director Avian Health Research <br />cc: Mr. Vincent A. Meyer <br />
