PETA, the animal rights group, have seen the debut episode of Mike Tyson’s new show “Taking on Tyson”, which aired last night on ANIMAL PLANET. Of course, PETA is not happy with the legendary boxer. The show is about Tyson’s love for Pigeons and it’s about the sport of pigeon racing (yes, it’s an actual sport).

PETA claims that the sport takes the birds away from their families and forces them into injuries or even death.

See the story here, at the Hollywood Reporter.

I actually watched, “Taking on Tyson” last night. I liked the show, it was pretty interesting and inspiring. Most reality shows sucks because most reality shows are scripted and um, not, “real”. Well this show was pretty realistic.

I do know what PETA is going through so I understand them completely, honestly. On last nighit’s show, they just take any bird they see and throw them in the Pigeon coop to prepare for the races. So it is kind of torturing and abusive to the birds.

I usually disagree with PETA on a lot of things, but this one I actually agree with them. It is a good show though. I’ll watch it every Sunday night,  since I’m a fan of Iron Mike.
