It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by some people who had set up a pigeon and were using it as a target. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not make any living creature a target."
