Guest Davy Fleming Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 ANIMAL rights radicals have accuse Mike Tyson of cruelty because he keeps racing pigeons. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals are demanding criminal charges over a reality TV show about pigeon racing starring the notorious boxer. The show will follow Tyson, who has kept pigeons throughout his life, as he enters his birds in races in Brooklyn, New York. PETA say it's cruel to keep racing pigeons and claim the show could encourage illegal gambling . Prosecutors are investigating but Animal Planet say the doos are 'cherished and respected' by owners. WHAT ABOUT THIS THEN ' HEY'. IF ANY OF THESE MORONS ARE HIDING ON THE SITE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU CAN DO JUST SHOVE IT WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE.

Roland Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 Animial welfare group ruffled over Mike Tyson's NYC pigeon racing TV show Module body Sun Mar 21, 9:55 PM By The Associated Press ADVERTISEMENT 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
soapy Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 i think its time we declared open season of these doo gooders
Guest IB Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 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???
leighton Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 watched the you tube clip on tyson he only had rollers/tipplers but he looked after and rescued loads all in good nick living in lofts on top of roof top,it said his first fight was over some kid killing his doo im sure hell fight for them still good look taking them of him
lawrie Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 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 >
youngboy_ Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 i wil admit this is A few years old but still i wouldn belive he is cruel to his animals lookin at the codition and population in the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubIlBKZFHsI
blaz Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 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.
