As soon as we were tipped off to Bengal Stadium's cruel pigeon-control "solution," PETA sent an urgent letter to Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory, asking the city to reject the Bengals' request and consider one of the many humane alternatives available instead. The good news is that the city immediately responded by telling Paul Brown Stadium's manager that he needs to get his finger off the trigger and start actually trying some sensible pigeon-control methods first. We're keeping our eye on the situation, and we’ve offered to help the team with developing some humane solutions to their problem that are actually going to work. I'll let you know how it all goes.

Great job, PETA. It's time people realized that shooting pigeons isn't just cruel but ineffective as a result of their breeding habits. I wrote a letter to these guys too.

I'm impressed that the city is looking at alternatives. Pigeons are actually very cool birds, but they do have a tendency to poop (as we all do).
Nice letter, Stephanie!

Please don't shoot the pigeons, Bengals. C'mon what
are guys, Barbarions.Show all
your fans and little kid's,
that there is a humane way to
deal with this. Don't go the
Vick way.Please do not shoot
at innocent birds who have no
way to fight back, or defend
themselves.

Pigeons are not flying rats. That's the human opinion. Humans aren't very smart people if you haven't noticed. If we all believed what people said about us we would be in sad shape. I love all living creatures esspecially pigeons who always seem to get a bad rap because of ignorance!!

Pigeons are disgusting creatures- and if you hate people so much, you should kill yourself and quit adding to the population problem.

pigeons are onlye illegal aliens whom poop and squat where ever; but they do eat our crumbs.

well if they aren't flying rats, why not let the elderly knock them in the head and have pigeon pie. at least that is what one elderly lady was doing in a park. put out the bread crumbs and have protein. don't they also call it squab?

As we have learned,
football player's are not the sharpest tool in the shed, far, far from it.
Nothing like a bunch of fools with guns shooting at the birds in a football field, WTF.
What a group of idiots.
Complete morons.

I think the greatest thing a pigeon has done for our country is to shit on George Bush's head during one of his speeches in the Rose Garden.
These birds are very bright and they are for the greater good.
They hurt no one, leave them alone.....

even if pigeons were flying rats so what? I don't think we should kill rats either- crawling flying or swimming- so you can call them what you want- just dont shoot them
