The 1900 Paris games had live pigeon shooting. Apparently political correctness is nothing new. The event was never held again.

Yep, they changed the international rapid fire pistol target to a round bullseye, as well. The blocky full length black silhouette must not have been politically correct.I heard that the running deer/boar target was changed to just a bullseye, I'm surprised that they'd dump the event altogether after giving it a PC target.
