Reputable companies belong to the International White Dove Society or the National White Dove Release Society, organizations which set rules of conduct and ethics. Ethical businesses post notices on their websites stating that unless the released birds are properly trained and conditioned, they will not survive. Blow bubbles, people!

Cat and dog rescuers share with wildlife rehabilitators the unfortunate burden of healing the hurt caused by other humans. Statistics come to life in the suffering of one dove or one mockingbird, the one needlessly stricken and dying for the sake of a personal choice. So, I expected tolerance at best, antipathy at worst.

Animal rights is concerned with preventing the suffering or even use of animals by humans.
