PETA Looks To Stop Mike Tyson Pigeon Racing Show

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

People For The Ethical Treatment are speaking out against an upcoming television show featuring heavyweight boxing champ Mike Tyson racing pigeons.
As previously reported, Tyson signed on for the Animal Planet's latest reality show, “Taking on Tyson” featuring the boxer and a band of the racing birds.

According to PETA, Tyson's “Taking On Tyson” is “cruel” and exploits the winged animals because it “glorifies an abusive sport.”

The animal rights group is asking Brooklyn prosecutors to step in and shut the project down.

Patricia Kollappallil, a spokesperson for Animal Planet, has since spoken out against allegations of cruelty and illegal gamboling with the animals. She released a statement saying,

“There have never been any plans for wagering on the pigeon race. The birds will be "cherished and respected by their owners, including Mr. Tyson."

The show will start taping in April and air next year.

Historic Healthcare Reform Bill Passes In The House

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

History was made Sunday March 21,2010 when the House of Representatives passed President Barack Obama's health care reform bill.

The victory did not come without controversy however.

When Representative John Lewis of Georgia accompanied Speaker Of The House Nancy Pelosi into Capital Hill he was taunted with racial slurs of “n*gger” and even reportedly spat at.

Despite the drama, the Democrats were able to secure a victory with 219 votes of “yes” to 212 votes of “no.”

No Republicans voted in favor of the bill.

One of the most controversial parts of the bill, abortion rights, was a determining factor in many of the Democrats' votes.

The Obama administration had to reassure several members of the party that federal money would not be used for abortions.

Rep. Bart Stupak, a Democrat from Michigan, opposed the bill because of its “abortion language” but was coerced into voting in its favor Sunday.

He was called a “baby killer” for his vote by an unknown member of congress.

Now that the bill has passed in the House it will travel to the Senate where additional changes will be voted on.
