NEW YORK - An animal welfare group wants New York City prosecutors to investigate Mike Tyson's reality television show about pigeon racing.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says the Brooklyn-based show is cruel to animals and its races could involve illegal gambling.

The show will follow Tyson as he competes in pigeon races. The former world heavyweight champion has raised pigeons all his life but is a racing rookie.

The show airs next year on Animal Planet. A spokeswoman says there have never been plans for wagering on the races. She says the pigeons will be "cherished and respected by their owners," including Tyson.

PETA sent a letter dated March 18 to the Brooklyn district attorney's office requesting an investigation.

District attorney spokesman Jonah Bruno says the office is looking into the allegations

This from an organisation that kill thousands of creatures every year!  :-/ :-/  :o :o

Former American member of ours did say PETA cause lots of problems for them over there. Hope they stay over there.

 

Occurs to me too that  it was reasonably well known Tyson kept pigeons, why wait until he is fronting a TV programme on racing pigeons before it is suddenly 'he's cruel' especially as to best of my knowledge Tyson doesn't keep racers, its rollers, and these have featured on TV before without complaint??? Publicity Stunt by PETA???

its publicity for PETA, they wouldn't do it to a normal 9-5 guy. its a stunt done in bad taste. two fingers up to anyone who knocks my birds!

i hate when famous people are used as examples, take Victoria Beckham...blamed for kids having anorexia. its all rubbish publicity! makes me angry >:(

as we all know racing pigeons are the athletes of the bird keeping word. if they did take race pigeons from a fancier what would they do with them keep them cadged for the rest of their life.now that would be cruel.as for them saying mike Tyson has been cruel to his birds i very much doubt it .through all his boxing and troubles his love for his birds is still there as it was their before boxing and his troubles and will be their long after.if he was a goody two shoes with no former troubles just his boxing he would not be mentioned by PETA.

as simple as this 99% people that are members  of anti bloodsports and similar organisations are against transportation of animals  

 

which would include pigeon racing    ;)  we might be further down on the list as regards hunting fishing are top but we are on it

 

so when these organisations plead your your support please think about it  ;)
