The animal rights organization Peta has formally requested that Crystal Palace Football Club retire its live bald eagle mascot. The group contends that the environment of a professional football stadium, characterized by bright lights and large, boisterous crowds, is unsuitable for the bird.

This call for action centers on animal welfare concerns regarding the use of wildlife in entertainment settings. As of now, the club has not issued a public response to the demand to discontinue the practice.
