In an unapologetic display of animal cruelty, an anonymous group of terrible people released over two dozen pigeons into Las Vegas, with political accessories affixed to their heads. The group, which will not be named here, released the abused birds on Tuesday, in a sarcastic protest of the Democratic presidential debate the next day.
According to the local NBC affiliate, the group was inspired by a Cold War-era CIA operation. The BBC reports that the formerly secret details of that operation were just released in September.

At least one pigeon rescuer is not impressed, though, KSNV reported later in the week. Mariah Hillman, head of the Lofty Hopes pigeon rescue, called the stunt absurd and ridiculous on Thursday. Hillman also expressed hope that her organization might catch some of the abused birds, and rehabilitate them, but she also told News 3s Max Darrow that what the anonymous deplorables did wasnt illegal, and that since pigeons are typically considered pests, she didnt expect authorities to do anything about the politically-driven animal cruelty.

A bunch of pigeon's wearing MAGA Hats is pretty much what I think the cult represents. I assumed it was anti-Trump people that created this.
