Here is a video of the actual pigeon:

Whats your opinion on all of this is it just stupid or do they have a good reason; but after all it's just an animal doing what it's trained to do.
'While some countries are having trouble spying on suspects, India has other worries. Police in the country have arrested a pigeon on charges that it may be a spy from Pakistan.
Yes, this is real news reported by the BBC. Apparently spy pigeons are a real thing over there, or at least police believe that to be the case.
The bird in question was taken into custody on Thursday after being discovered by a 14-year old boy in a village around 4km from the Pakistani border. The bird had a stamped message on its body written partly in Urdu, which is the official language of Pakistan.
The bird was X-rayed at police headquarters, but nothing suspicious was found. Even so, the pigeon remains in police custody, and it has been logged in as a suspected spy in the official police diary.' (Quoted from Yahoo news)

I'm guessing they thought the bird had a microphone on it? or inside it?

Human and civil rights don't extend to animals.
Why don't they just cut off it's head and put it on a spike?
