"'Since the use of marksmen to kill pigeons appears to have been carried out as a first, rather than a last resort, and not out of a concern for public health, but rather because the animals were deemed inconvenient by players, you appear to be in clear violation of the law,' PETA vice-president Bruce Friedrich said."
Read the article and it's clear that Wimbledon did not use the pigeons as a last resort and it is perfectly legal to shoot pigeons if they are a disturbance.
