Wimbledon officials hired marksmen to kill pigeons that were disrupting matches. Officials had previously employed hawks to keep the pigeons away, but there were areas where the pigeons were still causing a nuisance. PETA members were upset because they claim the pigeons were killed not as a last resort but as the first option after the hawks had failed. Do you agree that Wimbledon officials were hasty in choosing such a harsh method?

Answered Yes, they shouldn't have killed them right away.
How selfish are we to kill over a pigeon poop. Shame on anyone that thinks this is good thing to do. They should have turned to an alternative method. Sometimes people just disgust me and this is one of those times. -
Answered No, they have the tournament to consider. It was acceptable.
First of ALL I think PETA are a bunch of nuts.
They put the good of the animal ahead of the humans. If it were up to them we wouldn’t have any red meat to eat (can’t kill them cows) no warm coats or sweaters, (can’t sheer them sheep) and definitely no new drugs to treat diabetes or heart trouble or cancer because you can’t test the drugs on animals. These people are whacked out.
I saw them throw paint at a woman in a fur coat. Holy cow the coat was already dead what good did it do to throw paint on the woman who by the way worked several years to save enough money to buy the coat.
I do not have any respect for the PETA people.
Animal protective league and organizations like that do a lot of good work in protecting animals from cruelty I respect them -
i live in norfolk virginia. this is where their main headquarters are. they are a bit on the nutsy side....however their was a time when they killed animals in movies and so forth. drug testing on animals is ok but we cant explore stem cell? it seems a bit selfish to me to deny stem cell because it goes against the grain but its ok to kill another animal for the good of "man kind". anyway yea peta is "out there" but they have done good things as well. these days it would be unheard of to kill a horse shooting a movie....but thanks to animal activists groups like peta this no longer happens. anyways..im going fishing hope no peta is out on the chesapeake bay bridge with picket signs..............lololol

They don't put animals "ahead" of any human, and I think you should do a little more research before you arbitrarily call them "nuts."
"Warm Coats".......gimmee a freakin break.....how many Chinchilla's or Minks do you own or need??? Ever heard of....."wool?"...it's pretty damn warm and doesn't require the slaughter of an animal to keep you very warm.
You anti-PETA people are as ridiculous as extremists on the other side. -
So on your family farm the sheep lived nice long lives until they died a natural death. Despite the fact that sheep lose the wool making ability after a few years, atleast an economicaly viable amount of wool. It is also fact that it costs more to shear a sheep then the return on the wool but that loss is offset by slaughtering the sheep. Yea, I've been on a farm or two as well.
"so I know that's not always the case."
LOL, so you admit the sheep are slaughtered. -
Answered I'm not really sure, but I think...
PETA can be cruel to animals themselves.
There is a story about when a PETA lady chucked a live raccoon onto a lady wearing a fur coat how is that protecting the raccoon
PETA is overrated
Depending on this particular situation though depending on the way they were taken care of or disposed should determine the cruelty aspect -
LOL! That raccoon thing was funny, but it was probably a fake one. Unless it was a nasty, aggressive raccoon sent to attack the lady in fir. I ponder.
I believe pigoens shouldn't be killed. I am sure we got in the way first. I think that's why they take aim and poop away. -
Sometimes I wonder what the opposite of "kill" is; so I can practice it.
Alas, my only antidote is to live.
I have played tennis for so many years years; we use to have many squirrels in our courts; all we did was wait till they left.
The point is, humans keep pointing at anything and pulling the trigger with out reason or thought. -
Answered Yes, they shouldn't have killed them right away.
It's always been my opinion that golf squanders precious resources for a few (mostly rich) people's entertainment. If pigeons are a problem why didn't they bring in hawks to take care of that instead of having to shoot them all. A pair of hawks would decimate a pack of pigeons in a couple of days. -
