At PigeonBoss.com, we are passionate about racing pigeons and the art of running a proper One Loft Race. We believe that the welfare of our feathered athletes should always come first, and that’s why we are proud to highlight the exemplary decision made by Tihomir Lekic and his team at Derby Zagreb.
Prioritizing Pigeon Welfare
In light of these conditions, Tihomir Lekic has made the difficult but commendable decision to potentially postpone the race. This is not a decision made lightly. The pigeons have trained hard and are eagerly awaiting their moment to shine. But when it comes to their safety, no risk is worth taking. The forecast for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday predicts continued rain and strong winds—conditions that would make the race treacherous.
By prioritizing the well-being of the pigeons over the pressures of the race schedule, Tihomir is setting an example that, we believe, should be followed by all in the sport. Racing should never be about forcing events to fit a calendar or ensuring that a pre-planned celebration can proceed. Instead, it should always be about the welfare of the animals and the integrity of the sport.
A Proper Approach to One Loft Racing
Too often, we’ve seen races go ahead simply because the logistics were in place—the beers were cold, the steaks were ready, and the crowd was assembled. But this “show must go on” mentality is not how a One Loft Race should be run if we are truly committed to the future of the sport and the welfare of our pigeons.
Tihomir’s decision to wait for a day with better weather is a testament to his dedication to the sport and the pigeons. This approach not only ensures that the race will be held under the safest conditions possible but also preserves the integrity of the competition.
A Round of Applause for Tihomir Lekic and His Team
At PigeonBoss.com, we want to give a big round of applause to Tihomir Lekic and his team for making this brave and responsible decision. This is how a proper One Loft Race should be run—with a focus on fun, fairness, and, most importantly, the well-being of the pigeons.
Let’s all take a page from Tihomir’s book and remember that the future of pigeon racing depends on the choices we make today. By putting the pigeons first, we can ensure that our beloved sport continues to thrive for generations to come.
Until the next blog,
Jan de Wijs
