Well, that didn’t take long. After Mike Tyson announced he’ll begin filming for a new pigeon racing show to air on Animal Planet, PETA used the opportunity to slam him: “Tyson’s claim to care about pigeons is rather incredulous given that he chooses to tout using them in a ’sport’ that—like horseracing—exposes them to danger and death.”
The ballroom dancing/paparazzi head pounding former heavyweight champ’s relentless mainstream presence continues. Mike will host “Taking on Tyson,” a pigeon racing show on Animal Planet. The boxer has always loved birds, keeps a few hundred at lofts in NJ and Brooklyn and was originally inspired to box by his pigeons: “I never hurt anybody until somebody hurt one of my birds.”

New York City isn’t the only place overrun by pigeons: a flock of the dirty birds take flight at Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu, Nepal.

There’s no better way to end the week than with a short clip of pigeons fucking. Even with the footage slowed down, this is by all means a quickie. It was either this or a video of a soon to die mouse on the street struggling to get out of a glue trap—which is by far one of the cruelest methods for killing vermin, and this coming from a rodent hater.
