Mike Tyson Former Girlfriend Cooked And Ate His Pet Pigeon
Written by Vegetarian Star on April 26th, 2013 in Animal Issues, Athletes-Games-Sports, Not So Vegetarian.
Mike Tyson had a bad girlfriend experience that proves you should always choose a veggie mate.
The former boxing champion is known for his fondness of pigeons.
His former non-vegan girlfriend, however, is not.
While the two were living together, Tyson says she took one of his beloved pigeons and cooked it.
During an interview with the WFAN’s Boomer & Carton show, Tyson explained the unfortunate situation.
Tyson: “I was dating this young lady and she said, ‘I don’t know why you’re flying those damn birds, you should be eating them.’ … She happened to grab one and — and she cooked one and proceeded to eat it. And I just couldn’t do it.”
Carton: “You loved the pigeon that much.”
Boomer: “Well, cause he’s got a relationship with the pigeons.”
Tyson: “It just wasn’t the right thing to do. That’s why she’s not my woman anymore.”
Understood.
