PETA protests pigeon racing at Tyson's Nevada home

[Hot Mega]

Simple poll: or :1orglaugh

HENDERSON, Nev. – People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals demonstrated outside Mike Tyson's suburban home to protest the former boxing champion's role in pigeon racing.

Henderson police spokesman Todd Rasmussen said Tuesday the PETA demonstration on Monday outside Tyson's gated hillside neighborhood was peaceful.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that some of the 20 protesters carried signs reading, "Featherweights: No match for a Heavyweight," and "Mike doesn't give pigeons a fighting chance."

(Gotta hand it to those Dodo birds at PETA...that quote about 'Featherweights' is stellar.)

Is this why I been hearing about Mike Tyson and pigeons lately???

Jeez...

 

[CunningStunts]

Pigeons??

Every time I think PETA can't get more silly, they surprise me.

 

[Spleen]

He fucking loves pigeons, they probably have a great life with him.

I want to kill a PETA member and wear his skin as a jacket.

 

[Bearded_Menace]

^^^Yes, Tyson does love his pigeons. One can even speculate that they were one of the main causes of him becoming a boxer. PETA just needs to go the fuck away. They are overreacting to a lot of things that would normally pass by without a hitch.

I think Mike should eat every member of that groups children.

I keep reading this thread's title as "PETRA protests pigeon racing..." and I think to myself, "Damn. Petra's really trying to extend her influence. Do you think she has the power to ban pigeon racers from Tyson's home?"

Then I realise I'm a complete fucking idiot.

In any case, PETA is dumb. (I'm not going to comment on PETRA's intelligence.)

Pigeons = Flying Rats. Why do they care?

 

[Evil Hobo]

Wow, what about the ethical treatment of human beings, something which is being constantsly abused worldwide.
All while these naive, shallow and superficial spoilt suburban kids and status-chasing-vegetarians go bitching about animals being badly treated.

Nice to see these wankers having their priorities in the right place - waste your time and money trying to put an end to well-fed pet pigeons being made to race while millions human beings worldwide are starving or are having their most basic rights abused by oppressive regimes. Guess brown and black kids aren't as cute as fluffy animals...

Fuck PETA.

If all the birds have to do is fly, then I see no cruelty involved. PETA just needs a foot up their asses, to remind them, they're fucktards.
