They're pigeons, not an endangered species like Tigers.

The world can use fewer pigeons.

Your extreme level of stupidity never ceases to amaze me. Must be your inbred genetics you always talk about.

hose of you who are naive about pigeon racing need to be told just what this so called sport involves. Pigeons mate for life. They NEVER get a divorce and only death can end their relationship. Otherwise, they hang out together and share all the responsibilities of raising their young including the males also take turns sitting on the eggs. So what these "pigeon racers" do is - the take one of the couple, either the male or the female and separate them from their mates and their young. They take them hundreds of miles away from home and then simply let them go. The one that gets home first is the winner. Only problem is that a GREAT many of them NEVER make it home. They've never been taught how to find food on their own and they have NO idea what a hawk or predator is. Meanwhile, my pigeon rescue group here in the city is always finding lost and injured and half dead racing pigeon

Shitbirds of a feather...

O.K. Peta, I'm a sorta fan, and I dig how you toss paint on rich people's furs, but you're kinda losing me.

Now I have seen everything...

no you haven't, not until you see PETA starts selling whale meat

Why do so many trashy people have such a strong affinity for these filthy animals? Mmmm, Salmonella anyone?

wouldn't**

If the filthy animals cleaned up after themselves, we would have much of a pigeon problem.

the pigeon in that pic is going, "oh, shit!"

Stop your bloodclot crying!

I thought we hated pigeons?

Not all of us, I think pigeons are delicious!

That photo shows Tyson showing more compassion to the pigeon than he has ever been pictured showing to a human.

Oh,I forgot. PETAphiles don't care if humans have their ear chewed off or are raped in hotel rooms. (Maybe Mike was aroused by one of those misogynist PETA ads when he raped the woman. Who knows?)

What's next, PETA? Banning flea circuses?

thefacts- do you even know what you're talking about?

Yes he does. PETA cares nothing for humans.

PETA is currently writing up a ban to stop all lions from eating other small animal, yep, its on their drawing board, as we speak.

Pigeon racing just involves flying from point A to point B. The risks to the bird are things like "being eaten by a falcon" and "getting lost." In other words, the risks are the same risks any bird encounters in nature.

So...PETA has a problem with nature, now? Yes, true, if the birds remained locked in their coops their entire lives, they probably would never be eaten by a falcon. But a bird's natural place is flying -- the pigeon isn't supposed to fly?

Man, PETA can't even keep their crazy consistent.
