Buzz Up PrintLONDON, June 24 (Reuters) - Wimbledon came under fire from animal activists on Tuesday for using marksmen to shoot down dive-bombing pigeons.

The decision to call in the marksmen was condemned as “cruel and illegal behaviour” by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) which complained to the tournament organisers and the police.

“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.

How is it illegal??? Which law are they violating????

And it seems to me that the marksmen were a last resort, since they already tried using hawks....

They should have caught the birds and fed them to snakes.

Those marksmen ought to be fired for missing the PETA nutballs. Center mass, people! Center mass! Day-am! How hard can that be! :
