Racing pigeons is not vegan..not by any stretch of the imagination. Again here is someone using the word vegan and sending an unclear message. If you love pigeons, let them be what they were destined to be, free birds, with choice. I agree that he needs to learn more about veganism..and this step he is taking is no less than wonderful, I do applaud that he is taking his blinders off bit by bit!

It just shows how a foundation in eating vegan can help transform somebody from a violent,aggressive person with many addictions and demons to a man with calmness, clarity and humility. Maybe you should focus on that instead of condemning him for his past actions.

..so people aren’t allowed to change and better themselves, or will you criticize him at every step? He admitted his mistakes and seems to be doing well. Let that man live.

If you’ve seen the Outside the Lines special on HBO, the man has raised and cared for pigeons his entire life. They are kept in cages mostly for their protection. Breeders keep their animals in pens and cages to keep out wolves, etc. Also, you separate them so that the strong do not take advantage of the weak and eat all the food.

I have relatives that raised pigeons in NY and the amopunt of vandalism and suffering that they go through from A-holes.His first fight was from a guy that broke one of his pigeons’ necks for no reason.

That being said, being vegan is a process. He’s not just going to come out wearing hemp products overnight.

I am glad when anyone goes vegan, but I recall that he is a convincted rapist and also a man with violent tendencies and a man whose actions betray a lot of narcissism. I wonder if veganism is just a fad for him (as it was with Angelina Jolie) or a serious life-long committment? It’s easy to say your a vegan, but if it’s not based a serious concern for the non-human other, it won’t last long, and he’ll go back to meat-eating, which in the end is worse for the cause. It hurt the cause for Jolie to backtrack on it; it would have been better had she never tried it. Tyson goes for all sorts of counter-culture ideas, because they’re counter-cultural, not becasue they’re morally right, so I am skeptical.

Mike is a sweet gentle man that was manipulated into violence by greedy men.

Have you seen the doco on Mike. It is amazing that he has traveled this far. That boy was abused, used and manipulated as a young man by rich greedy pricks. I saw a clip of him crying before a fight saying he did not want to, and these asswipes kept telling him it was the best thing for him. He never got a chance to think. So slow down on your judgments and I wonder what would happen to any of us in the same circumstances.
