PETA is urging Crystal Palace to retire its American bald eagle mascot. The animal rights group says wildlife does not belong in a stadium and calls on the club to stop using a live animal for matchday entertainment.

Across the outlets, the central point is consistent: Crystal Palace have long been nicknamed the Eagles and use an eagle mascot. The Independent and The Athletic focus on the call to retire the mascot and note the team’s “Eagles” nickname dating back to the club’s history. The Guardian adds more detail about PETA’s specific concerns, including that the bird may be frightened or disoriented during appearances, and it says PETA writes to the club’s chief executive and asks for a commitment not to use live mascots again.

While all coverage attributes the request to PETA, the emphasis varies between a brief mention of the issue and a longer account of the letter’s rationale and the alleged impact on the animal and matchday attendees.
