    Why is PETA complaining about a lawful cleanup of pigeons?

    http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/news?slug=reu-wimbledonpigeons&prov=reuters&type=lgns

    "'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.

    I am shocked your last question got deleted. Must have been a PETA Poser. Heehee! PETA VP just decided to ignore Wimbledon's explanations and concoct their own story so they would have something to complain about. It is really sad. These people need hobbies.
