Actor Rik Martino claimed his pigeons at animal control, only to find that they had been euthanized. Martino loves pigeons, and he has rescued and cared for many that were injured and ill. In the summer of 2011, hard times fell on Martino, and he lost his apartment. . . . Animal control confiscated Martino's pigeons, because they did not approve of the type of cages they were housed in. The officer told Martino he could claim the pigeons at the animal shelter after a few days. When Martino came back to claim his pigeons, animal control told him there wasn't enough room in the shelter to house the pigeons so they euthanized them.
