Mike Tyson‘s new Animal Planet show about pigeon racing is under fire from animal rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

According to the New York Post, a report by TMZ says the group says the show, Take on Tyson, violates New York gambling laws because it profits from animal racing.

The show is filmed in Brooklyn and the District Attorney in the city is investigating the claims.

Animal Planet is denying the claim and says there would be no gambling on the show.
