PETA is already pitching a fit about Mike Tyson’s next project, an Animal Planet television show about the little known sport of pigeon racing. Pop the hood for more.

PETA President Ingrid Newkirk says of Tyson’s breathtaking passion for his pigeons: “One wonders if Mike Tyson realizes that . . . these gentle, loyal birds who race their hearts out trying to get home to their life mates often end up lost in storms, or coming home just have their necks wrung for failure to beat their competitor’s time.”

We’re guessing that Tyson didn’t consult with PETA before taking on the show…

The series, tentatively called “Taking on Tyson,” delves into the little reported world of urban pigeon racing.

“I feel a great pride acting as an official representative for all the pigeon fancier’s out there,” Tyson said in the press release. “I want people to see why we love these birds. It feels good returning to the rooftops of the city where it all started for me – New York.”

Production house Touch Productions felt this would be a perfect fit for the former heavyweight, who raised pigeons since he was a child.
